DALLAS -- Just a few inches separated the Tulane Green Wave from a victory in Saturday's 41-38 loss to SMU at Ford Stadium.
On the last play of the game, Tulane quarterback Jonathan Banks was stopped just short of the goal line. A replay review upheld the call and Tulane's season came to an abrupt end.
Down three points with just over 2 minutes left, Banks led the Green Wave 74-yards down the field. The Green Wave ran five plays inside the SMU 5. They just couldn't convert. It brought a terrible end to an incredible day for Banks, who threw for a college career-high 314 yards and led the team back from a 20-7 deficit.
