In a weekend of absolute craziness, the result of this game were not exactly that unusual. What was unusual however, was how close the game was and how the game ended. Tulane fans may have a gripe, but at the end of the day did not do enough to win.
1st Half
The first three drives each resulted in scores to start the game. SMU wasted no time starting off with the ball. As we have seen all year, this SMU offense has been explosive. Ben Hicks was the main cog in the first drive, but Ke’Mon Freeman (one of my keys for the game) was able to cap off the opening drive with a three yard rushing touchdown.
