It looked like USC was going to extend their 14-7 lead in the second quarter of the Cotton Bowl, but that’s when the Tulane defense and offense provided a pair of momentum-changing plays Monday in Arlington, Texas.
USC quarterback Caleb Williams’ pass was intercepted by Jarius Monroe at the Green Wave 8 before he tip-toed out of bounds, giving Tulane the ball at the 6:32 mark of the second quarter.
Two plays later, Tulane quarterback Michael Pratt hit Jha’Quan Jackson in the middle of the field. That’s when Jackson turned on the Jets and beat out several USC defenders on his way to an 87-yard touchdown to tie the game at 14-14 with 5:42 left in the first half.
The Tulane sideline and crowd in Arlington were clearly pumped up over one of the more exciting moments of a great season for the Green Wave.
