Tulane Rallies Past Charlotte 38-31 in Overtime

Tulane rallied from a 10-point halftime deficit to beat Charlotte 38-31 in overtime, improving to 4-4. After Garrett Mmahat stopped a fake punt late in regulation, freshman quarterback Trace Johnson led a tying touchdown drive with 10 seconds left; he finished 28-of-36 for 284 yards. Backup Dagan Bruno scored on a fourth-and-goal sneak in overtime, and Tulane’s defense made four consecutive stops from inside the 5-yard line to secure the win. The comeback showcased Johnson’s poise, but the Green Wave also overcame costly turnovers and allowed 216 rushing yards, underscoring ongoing concerns—compounded by injuries—on defense.
