SELA @ Tulane - Game Thread

[TexasTerror]

Lions up 20-14 over the Green Wave in the Superdome...3:44 left in the first half...

Lions lost by one TD against the Wave in 2005 and the Wave are having a tough season this year...

The go-ahead score was a Brian Babin pass to Merrick Lanaux for 63 yards!

GEAUX LIONS!

SELA problem is Tulane's running back...

He has 16 carries for over 120 yards for the Green Wave and two touchdowns...Lions have solved the passing game. Time to shut down the run when the second half comes...

Score update TT?

[slycat]

go lions way to rep the slc.

Score update TT?

20-14, Lions...

About 15 seconds left in the half...probably nothing doing before the half here...

[GeauxLions94]

20-14 SLU at half.

We did our job against Forte last time (28 yards, 17 carries) ... had a chance to pick off a couple of passes late.

One half down, one more to go.

[TexasTerror]

This would be a great win...

Was not happy with how the NOLA newspaper talked about SELA before the game using the incorrect nomenclature and highlighting just a few of the FCS wins when a team in their conference (Marshall) has even lost to an FCS!

Get em SELA! Give the SLC a THIRD FBS win!

You think a third FBS win would open the eyes of those around the nation who think the SLC has slipped a bit in the last few years?

Unfortunately I don't.

[TexasTerror]

Unfortunately I don't.

Your probably right...especially with the FCS vs FCS going ons right now in the conference. This conference does not get as many OOC chances vs FCS as we would like, so we really got to take advantage of what we are dealt including a few FBS wins! ;)

[patssle]

Even with 3 possible FBS wins...we still have 2 D2 losses and Nicholls almost lost to a NAIA today....

still improvements to be made.

And SFA who was picked to finish close to the top of the SLC is sitting at 0-3.

[TexasTerror]

While we're waiting for the SELA/Tulane game to continue...

UCA may get us a win...apparently just had a 90 yard drive and under 1:20 left in the ball game against a solid Missouri State team...I share an office with a Bear alum who used to work over there, know he'll love hearing about his Bears losing to our UCA Bears!

As much as we would love to laugh at them, don't foget about last year. They started 0-5 with TWO losses to D2 schools and almost ended up winning conference.

I think SFA is better than this...time will tell.

Lion defense still holding Tulane down here in the 3rd quarter. Offense has been stuck in poor starting field position so far in second half.

TT, the scoreboard I am looking at says that MSU is winning 35-31 with about 1:30 left in the 4th. How accurate is that?

UCA scored with 1:20 left...my Yahoo score just updated. I've told you how these score services work...

thanks xnodx

Tulane within striking distance of SELA red zone...

Come on Lions, time to hold them back!

[blackfordpu]

Tulane scored, that short punt did not help SELA one bit.

[triplela]

21-20 Tulane now.

Come on offense. Let's get it going.

[TexasTerror]

Touchdown, Tulane...

28-20...Forte busted out for a 40+ yard gain the play before the score...26 carries, 230 yards, 3 TDs...

[TexasTerror]

Tulane 28
SELA 20
End of 3rd

Lions at Tulane 20!

[TexasTerror]

Tulane up 34-20, waiting on the extra point...

SELA is running out of town and more than likely, out of this game...

[triplela]

35-27 final score. Lions put up a fight, but could not stop Matt Forte. Forte had over 300 yards rushing for Tulane.
