NEW ORLEANS - Running back Dontrell Hilliard rushed for 175 yards and four touchdowns on 19 carries and Tulane finished with 488 rushing yards in the Green Wave's 62-28 win against Tulsa Saturday morning at Yulman Stadium.
The game, which had originally been scheduled for 3 p.m. CT, was moved to 10 a.m. due to the threat of Tropical Storm Nate. But the Green Wave was ready to play from the outset as Hilliard's first TD came on Tulane's third play from scrimmage and was set up by a 51-yard run by quarterback Jonathan Banks on the opening play of the drive.
