NEW ORLEANS, La. – The streak was snapped.
The University of Memphis entered Friday night's American Athletic Conference game at Tulane having won 11 straight in the series dating to 2002. The Green Wave, however, ended any thoughts of a 12th straight behind an explosive second half that saw Tulane score 23 points in a six-minute, four-second span in a 40-24 victory.
The Tigers entered the game as one of the nation's most prolific offenses, but never got untracked at Yulman Stadium. Memphis, averaging 593 yards total offense, was limited to 277 yards.
