Overview
- Retzlaff threw for 332 yards and three touchdowns, opening with a 65-yard strike to Shazz Preston and finishing a near-flawless first half at 14-of-15 for 284 yards.
- Memphis mounted a late rally as Brendon Lewis, playing through an ankle issue, passed for 317 yards and two scores before exiting after a hard hit.
- Tulane’s defense limited the Tigers to 67 rushing yards and came up with a late stop on fourth-and-8, ending Memphis’ 11-game home winning streak.
- The result undercuts Memphis’ position as the leading Group of Five CFP candidate and pushes Tulane back into the selection conversation.
- Run-in stakes grow: Tulane closes with Florida Atlantic, at Temple and Charlotte, while Memphis faces East Carolina and Navy as AAC tiebreakers and rankings loom large.
