Great return for Rebels from Grandy. Ball on the 42.

Rebels have the ball back at their own 22-yard line after holding Tulane on its first offensive possession.

ANOTHER SCORE: The Rebels moved methodically down the field for their second TD of the night. Brandon Bolden capped an impressive 11-play, 78-yard scoring drive with a 16-yard TD run. Rose added another PAT to put the Rebels up 14-0. Masoli completed all five of his passes on the drive for 48 yards.

LOCKETT’S BACK: Senior end Kentrell Lockett made his first sack of the season to force a Tulane punt. Rebs got the ball back at their own 15.

REBELS GET 3: A 61-yard throw from Masoli to Summers led to a 29-yard field goal from Rose at the 8:00 minute mark of the 4th quarter. Rebels up 27-13.
