NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Darian Mensah threw for 262 yards and two touchdowns and Makhi Hughes ran for 153 yards and two scores as Tulane routed Temple 52-6 Saturday night to remain unbeaten in American Athletic Conference play.
The Green Wave (8-2) is 6-0 in conference play, one win behind unbeaten conference-leading Army (9-0, 7-0). Tulane, which owns the nation’s longest conference win streak with 16 straight, travels to Annapolis to take on Navy next week and closes out the regular season at home against Memphis.
Tulane built a 52-0 lead after Ty Thompson raced 50-yards for a touchdown with 7:23 left in the game, but Terrez Worthy broke free for a 75-yard touchdown run on the Owls’ next possession to get Temple on the board.
