Memphis delivered a stunning blow to No. 18 Tulane's College Football Playoff aspirations with a 34-24 victory on Thursday night. The defeat ended Tulane's eight-game winning streak and dashed their hopes of making a playoff run.
The game was marked by critical mistakes on Tulane's part, including three turnovers resulting from deep passes by Darian Mensah. These turnovers proved costly for Tulane, who needed a win in their regular-season finale and the American Athletic Conference title game to have a shot at the playoff.
