NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Maurice Turner rushed for 200 yards and two touchdowns, including a 74-yard go-ahead score in the fourth quarter, as Tulane rallied past Southern Miss 24-21 on Saturday.
Southern Miss (1-3) led 21-14 after Landry Lyddy threw his third touchdown pass early in the third quarter, a 22-yarder to Mario Sanders.
Cooper Helmke’s 26-yard field goal pulled Tulane (2-2) within 21-17 with 8:35 remaining before Turner broke free for a 74-yard touchdown run with 5:26 left to give the Green Wave the lead.
Southern Miss drove to the Tulane 3-yard line on its next possession, but TJ Smith blocked Creighton Wilbanks’ 21-yard field-goal attempt with 1:45 remaining to preserve the lead.
Turner also scored on a 43-yard run in the second quarter and averaged 16.7 yards on 12 carries. Tulane finished with 281 yards rushing.
Kadin Semonza threw for 129 yards and a touchdown for Tulane, including a 47-yard score to Anthony Brown-Stephens in the first quarter.
