The Army Hail Mary falls incomplete, and #Tulane wins 24-17. Crazy game with a crazy finish, stay tuned later in the weekend for the full recap!
English

#Tulane now leads 24-17 as Army just has 27 seconds to drive the length of the field and score.
English

Retzlaff throws a risky pass in field goal range that easily could have been his 2nd endzone interception of the day.
Instead, it gets tipped up, bobbled twice, and then caught by Shazz Preston in the endzone.
Retzlaff might want to buy a lottery ticket after that one. #Tulane
English

#Tulane gets the ball back at their own 25 yard line.
1:28 left. No timeouts. Clock stops briefly on a first down. You probably need about 40 yards to take a shot at the field goal. Will Tulane do it, or is it OT?
English

And #Tulane gets the stop, stuffing Hellums for a short gain. They take their final timeout, and Army will (likely) have to punt with 1:37 left on the clock.
English

3rd and 5, #Tulane has taken two timeouts. They want the ball back, huge play for Army.
English

With just under 2 minutes left, college first down rules, and both teams having 3 timeouts left, we are far from guaranteed to go to OT. After a small gain on 1st down, it's #Tulane that takes the first time out, trying to get the ball back.
English

Retzlaff steps back, scrambles a bit, resets, and finds Bryce Bohanon for a huge #Tulane TD. The PAT is good, and we are tied 17-17 with 1:54 left in the game. Now Tulane needs to get a stop to get into OT.
English

Two Minute Timeout.
Army leads #Tulane 17-10.
It is 4th and 7 at the Army 12 yard line, the last chance for the Green Wave. The red zone has been a massive struggle over these last two weeks, and it could come to bite them here unless they can convert this 4th down.
English

#Tulane has made the most of this final drive so far, moving the ball in chunks play after play. They are now in the redzone.
English

Hellums punches it in from 1 yard out for Army's 2nd touchdown of the game, coming with just under 6 minutes left. #Tulane will be down by 7 with probably just one chance to go and tie the game up with a touchdown. Backs against the wall for the Green Wave here.
English

On 3rd and 8, Hellums keeps it and gets the first down. Back-breaking - Army is already in field goal range, the clock is continuing to dwindle (below 8 minutes now), and #Tulane is going to run out of opportunities if they don't get a stop now.
English

Hellums has another unforced fumble, and it looks like Army will recover again, not even losing yards on the play.
However...another review. And this one's big of course. #Tulane
English

Army's offense is finding some success through passing plays now, either through the air or through QB scrambles. They are now well into #Tulane territory and threatening to score to retake the lead.
English

Retzlaff just overthrows Shazz Preston in the endzone and is intercepted by Casey Larkin. If it holds up (and it likely will), just a brutal break for the Green Wave. #Tulane
English

End of the 3rd Quarter
We are tied 10-10 at #Tulane vs Army
English

Really impressive catch by Shazz Preston while diving to get #Tulane to midfield.
...And it's under review. Not surprised. I do think it's a catch though.
