The Tulane Green Wave offense has looked as good as ever to start the day against North Texas Mean Green and one of their biggest stars leads the way.

In a two-quarter span filled with points and highlights, fullback Makhi Hughes was the star with the best half of his career. Fans around college football took to social media to celebrate his amazing play.

Hughes has been a bellwether in the first half with 20 carries for 169 yards and a touchdown. That’s already enough for a career high for a single game.

Darian Mensah started the game on fire through the air, but barely threw the ball in the second quarter with how good the ground game was.

Fans have been quick to point out how lucky they are to have gone from watching Tyjae Spears create defenses to seeing Hughes do the same.

Heading into the afternoon, the sophomore had already rushed for 744 yards on the season with a career-high eight touchdowns. While he doesn’t always do much in the receiving game, the running back still has 10 catches for 102 yards with two more scores.

Hughes has now crossed the century mark five times this season, including four of his last five matches. He has also scored a touchdown in five straight. A total of nine trips to the end zone during the year.

Before the season, he was a given the title of the best sophomore runner in the country. It looks like the qualifier could be dropped because he’s simply just one of the best.

The Green Wave will need their star to continue their play into the second half because this is the most important game to date.
