NCAA Game Summary - Tulane vs. Louisiana

New Orleans, LA (SportsNetwork.com) - Hunter Stover kicked a 27-yard field goal with 9:56 left in the fourth quarter, and Louisiana edged Tulane, 24-21, to win the New Orleans Bowl for a third consecutive year.

Sean Thomas picked off Devin Powell deep in Tulane territory and that led to Stover's first collegiate field goal.

The Green Wave then elected to punt at the Louisiana 39, and the Ragin' Cajuns ran out most of the remaining time. Tulane, though, had one more shot, and on third down near its own end zone, Powell scrambled out of trouble and completed a 34-yard pass to Justyn Shackleford.

Tulane got into field goal position for Cairo Santos, but his 48-yard try was barely wide left with nine seconds left.

It was Tulane's final home game at the Superdome, as the Green Wave will move into a campus, 30,000-seat Yulman Stadium next year.

Elijah McGuire rushed for 45 yards and a TD and caught seven passes for 94 yards for the Ragin' Cajuns (9-4). Terrance Broadway completed 12-of-19 passes for 143 yards with a pair of interceptions. Alonzo Harris rushed 13 times for 74 yards and a TD.

Powell replaced an ineffective Nick Montana and completed 10-of-21 throws for 223 yards. Montana was 5-of-8 for 63 yards, but the Green Wave (7-6) threw three interceptions. Orleans Darkwa had three TD runs and 83 yards on the ground. Ryan Grant caught seven balls for 113 yards.
