Overview

  • After East Carolina tied the game at 19 with 5:48 left, Jake Retzlaff led a 12-play, 75-yard march capped by a 4-yard touchdown to Javin Gordon with 35 seconds remaining.
  • ECU advanced to the Tulane 36 on the final snap, but Katin Houser’s Hail Mary was broken up after two pass-interference flags aided the drive.
  • Retzlaff went 26 of 36 for 347 yards and two touchdowns, including a 63-yard strike to Zycarl Lewis Jr. early in the fourth quarter.
  • Tulane built a 12-0 halftime lead on four Patrick Durkin field goals before ECU seized a 16-12 edge in the third quarter and later drew level at 19-19.
  • The Green Wave were flagged 11 times for 96 yards and lost a red-zone fumble, moving to 5-1 (2-0 AAC) with Army visiting next week as Sumrall criticized the team’s discipline.
