The Memphis Tigers won a home opener for the first time since 2004 in explosive fashion, defeating Aus-tin Peay 63-0 at the Liberty Bowl Stadium Saturday. More than 27,000 fans were on hand as the Tigers set the fireworks off early and often. The Tigers’ 63 points is the fifth most points a Memphis team has put up and the most since a 1969 beating of Louis-ville. This was also the first shutout of an opponent since 2000, when Memphis blanked the University of Louisiana at Monroe. It was an ominous start for Austin Peay as the Governors’ opening kickoff sailed out of bounds. An offside penalty was added to the initial penalty, and the Tigers started their first possession at the 40-yard line. The Tigers marched down the field in nine plays, taking up less than three minutes, capping off the drive with a two-yard rushing touchdown from Sam Craft. The first defensive play from the Tigers resulted in Martin Ifedi tackling the running back for a loss of two. Two plays later, Bobby McCain intercepted

quarterback Trey Taylor and took it 29-yards back to the Austin Peay 15. An illegal block penalty looked as if it might stall Memphis’ drive, but a 19-yard rush from Brandon Hayes on third and 17 kept it alive. Hayes punched it in from the 3-yard line one player later for his 12th career rushing touchdown to make it 14-0. A quick three-and-out gave the Tigers the ball back, and they wasted no time. Paxton Lynch found Daniel Hurd on the first play for 28-yards. The Tigers finished the 3:21 drive with Doroland Dorceus taking it in from three-yards out for his first career rushing touchdown and Memphis’ third of the quarter. The Governors made a quarterback change, bring-ing in Darrien Boone, but it made no difference, as they failed to make a first down. However, on the subsequent drive, Lynch threw an interception at the Austin Peay’s two-yard line, ensuring the Tigers would not add another seven points by the end of the quarter. The 21 point first quarter was the most for the Ti-gers since UAB in 2012. If the Governors were hoping the second quarter would bring a fresh start, they were quickly disap-pointed as Boone fumbled on the opening drive. Lynch took it in himself from the five-yard line four plays later to make it 28-0. Austin Peay’s offense came out for three plays and then gave it back to Memphis at the Tiger 34 via punt. The U of M engineered a 66-yard drive highlighted by a 39-yard pass from Lynch to Keiwone Malone, and finished it with Lynch’s second rushing touchdown of the afternoon, this one from nine-yards out. It wasn’t until Austin Peay’s sixth drive that Mem-phis recorded its first sack. Leonard Pegues recorded his first career sack when he got to Trey Taylor, who had re-entered the game, for a loss of 10-yards on second and 10. After an Austin Peay punt, Lynch got his first pass-ing touchdown of the season when he found Alan Cross for nine yards to make it 42-0. This snapped a streak of five-straight rushing touchdowns to start the game. Austin Peay looked as if they may get something started on their next drive as they got into Memphis territory, but a 14-yard sack on third down, one that sent Boone’s helmet bouncing off of the turf, ended the threat. At the half, the Tigers held a 42-0 lead and had scored on six of their eight possessions. Memphis

amassed 329 yards, while the defense allowed only 47, which was the exact distance of Spencer Smith’s lone punt in the first half. In the second half, the Tigers picked up where they had left off. After giving up a couple of first downs, Memphis forced another punt and took over at its own 19. Nine plays and 81-yards later, Lynch connected with Mose Frazier to cap off the Tigers longest scoring drive and give Memphis a 49-0 lead. It was also the last drive in which Lynch would play. The Tiger defense forced another three and out, and Joe Craig took the ensuing punt from his 39 all the way down to the APSU 8. One play later, Dor-ceus took it in, and Memphis had a 56-point lead.

UCLA quarterback Brett Hundley’s response to his first interception thrown this season and the re-sulting scoring drive he engineered helped the 11th-ranked Bruins escape Rose Bowl Stadium with a 42-35 win over the Memphis Tigers. Memphis scored twice early in the fourth quarter, including a 17-yard interception return by Fritz Eti-enne to tie the game at 35. Two plays prior to Etienne taking the ball to the house for a pick-six, Memphis running back Doroland Dorceus had scored on a 40-yard run. Dorceus’ third scoring run of the season was part of a 13-carry, 86-yard career rushing night for the sophomore. After the Tigers had scratched back into the game, Hundley and the Bruins’ response to Memphis’ back-to-back scores including Etienne’s interception re-turn would result in the final points of the game. During a nine-play drive that covered 75 yards and consumed less than three minutes of playing time, Hundley ran for 14 yards, starting with an 11-yard scamper on the series’ first play and he completed all five of his passing attempts culminating with a 33-

yard touchdown strike to Thomas Duarte. Hundley would erase a holding penalty as well as a three-yard loss on a quarterback sack by Tank Jakes with a 17-yard pass to Jordan Payton and a four-yard run before Myles Jack converted a fourth-and-one from the Memphis 42. After a seven-yard completion to Devin Fuller, Hundley found Duarte open over the middle for the touchdown. “They were playing man on the pick six and Brett didn’t see the guy. He jumped it and took it in for six,” said UCLA coach Jim Mora. “But what you see of good performers is when they need to come up with a drive and need to come up with a play, they do.” Saturday’s game certainly turned into a track meet at times. Only two of 11 combined scoring drives consumed more than four minutes of clock - one by Memphis and one by UCLA. Memphis quarterback Paxton Lynch had a career night for the Tigers. He completed 27-of-42 passes for 305 yards and Memphis amassed 469 yards of total offense (164 rushing). Lynch’s previous career best passing was 279 yards in last year’s seven-point loss to UCF. Lynch gave the Tigers a 7-6 lead with an eight-yard touchdown run in the first quarter and would cut a two-touchdown UCLA lead in half with an 18-yard touchdown pass to Brandon Hayes prior to intermis-sion. “At times he played well, at times he didn’t,” Jus-tin Fuente said of Lynch’s performance. “I am proud of him. That defense will make you make mistakes. I think operating in a great environment and playing a great defense will be beneficial to him.” With UCLA leading 42-35 in the fourth quarter, Memphis next two offensive series would stall at the UM 49 and 44. Memphis punter Spencer Smith would pin the Bruins inside the 10 after both offen-sive series. UCLA’s last possession began with 2:25 to play. Paul Perkins ran for 10 yards on first down be-fore Jakes had back-to-back tackles on rushing plays which combined for five yards. Memphis took its final two timeouts after those plays and on third down, Bakari Hollier and Kendrick Golden dropped Perkins for a two-yard loss. Memphis would take possession at their own 42-yard line with 45 seconds to play, but the clock would expire. In addition to Dorceus’ career rushing yards, Bran-don Hayes had 34 yards on nine carries and five re-ceptions for 48 yards. Memphis’ three rushing touchdowns give the Ti-gers 12 for the season. The team had just 14 rushing

touchdowns in all of 2013. Defensively, Jakes led the Tigers with 12 total tack-les including four tackles for loss. Jakes had two of the Tigers’ four quarterback sacks in the game. Also with sacks were Jackson Dillon and Cortez Crosby, who now has a sack in each of his first two games. “If you judge this team with what they showed today, it would be pretty easy to say that they are a tough group,” Fuente said of his team. “They kept playing hard. We didn’t always play well, but we played hard.”

It’s been 10 seasons, but the University of Memphis was 2-1 after three games to start a football campaign. The Brandon Hayes-Doroland Dorceus tandem combined for 190 rushing yards and one score, and se-nior linebacker Tank Jakes created havoc for the Mid-dle Tennessee offense the entire game to lift the Tigers to a convincing 36-17 non-conference victory over the Blue Raiders before a crowd of 46,378 at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium. With the loss, Middle Tennessee is now 2-2. The last time Memphis started a season 2-1 was in 2004 when that Tigers squad began 3-0. The 2004 Memphis team finished with an 8-4 record and earned a GMAC Bowl berth. The crowd of 46,378 was Memphis’ largest for a home game since 2006. It was also the eight-largest for a Tigers home contest against a non-Southeastern Conference foe. Jakes had seven total stops (six solo), two QB sacks, three TFL, one forced fumble and one interception to pace a Memphis defense that entered Saturday’s game ranked No. 1 for tackles for loss and No. 4 for solo stops in the nation. The Tigers, as a team, finished Saturday’s

game with 43 solo tackles and nine TFL. A Paxton Lynch-to-Alan Cross TD connection gave Memphis a 7-0 lead three minutes into the contest, but it was Jakes’ play on Middle Tennessee’s second series that set the tone for the game. Nick Jacobs’ 42-yard punt pinned the Blue Raiders inside their own 5-yard line. After two minimal gains, Middle Tennessee faced a 3rd-and-7 at its own 5. Blue Raiders QB Austin Grammer went back to pass out of his own end zone, but Jakes sacked him for a safety and a 9-0 Tigers lead. It was Memphis’ first safety since the 2003 Louisville game (37-7 Memphis win). Despite a Middle Tennessee score late in the first quarter, the Tigers defense put together a dominating first-half performance. The Memphis defense limited the Blue Raiders to only 108 yards of total offense and five first downs. Other than its scoring drive following a Lynch interception, Middle Tennessee only crossed midfield one other time, and on that drive, the Blue Raiders only reached the Memphis 42 yard line. With the Tigers defense holding Middle Tennessee in check, the Memphis offense put together two, sec-ond-quarter scoring drives to take a 19-7 advantage into halftime. The Tigers’ first second-quarter points came on a Jake Elliott 27-yard FG to cap a 10-play, 37-yard drive with 9:43 on the clock. Two minutes later, Dorceus ran for a 32-yard TD to give Memphis a 19-7 lead. The second half was much of the same, with the Memphis defense in charge. Through three quarters, Middle Tennessee only had 158 yards of total offense and eight first downs. In the third period, the Blue Raiders managed only one drive inside Tigers territory and that ended in a Cody Clark 36-yard FG with 3:33 left in the period. In the final period, Jakes put an exclamation point on the Tigers’ win with two huge defensive plays. Jakes’ first play came three minutes into the fourth quarter when he stripped the ball from Grammer, and Bobby McCain picked up the fumble and raced 59 yards for the score. The Tigers led 36-10 at that point. On the Blue Raiders’ next possession, the visitors drove to the Memphis 29 yard line and were looking to cut into the Tigers’ lead. Jakes, though, stepped up again - this time with his second career interception - to halt the Middle Tennessee drive. Despite Jakes’ big plays, Middle Tennessee gained more total yardage in the fourth quarter (167) than the previous three quarters combined (158). The Blue Raiders’ final score was a Shane Tucker 3-yard TD run for the 36-17 final.

Hayes led the Tigers ground game with 99 yards on 21 carries, and Dorceus rushed for 91 yards on 15 carries and a TD. Lynch was 21-of-35 passing for 219 yards and two TD. Keiwone Malone led the Memphis receiving corps with six catches and 76 yards, while Alan Cross had 57 yards receiving and two TD. Reggie Whatley paced the Middle Tennessee rush-ing attack with 41 yards on eight carries. Grammer was 24-of-35 passing for 237 yards.

The University of Memphis football team saw its upset bid of 10th-ranked Ole Miss come up just short, falling 24-3, in Oxford at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium in front of 61,291 fans. The crowd was the ninth-larg-est in Vaught-Hemingway history. Quarterback Paxton Lynch finished 13-of-31 for 81 yards and an interception while Jarvis Cooper led the Tigers with 29 rushing yards. Keiwone Malone picked up his 100th-career catch and finished with four recep-tions for 59 yards, including a 42 yarder in the opening quarter. Defensively, Tank Jakes led the Blue and Gray with eight tackles, including six solo stops in the effort. Bob-by McCain took away two passes on interceptions, his second multiple-sack game, and true freshman Genard Avery, a Mississippi native, recorded a sack for the sec-ond straight week. After averaging 242.7 yards rushing and 498 yards of total offense through the first three games, the Ole Miss defense limited the Memphis offense to 104 yards of total offense and 23 yards rushing. At the same time, the Memphis defense held the Rebels’ of-fense to 20 points below their season-average of 44 points per game.

The Memphis defense forced a three-and-out to open the game giving the Tigers four-straight games without allowing a touchdown on the opponents’ first-possession. The Rebels struck first with just over 12 minutes re-maining in the opening quarter on a 63-yard pass from Bo Wallace to Laquon Treadwell to go ahead 7-0. Ole Miss looked to build on the early advantage, but senior cornerback McCain pulled in his ninth-career intercep-tion on a Wallace pass over the middle of the field. The 17-yard return by McCain moved him into second on the all-time return yardage list in Memphis history, passing Glenn Rogers, Jr. Memphis was able to put points on the board off the turnover with 2:51 remaining in the opening pe-riod. Sophomore quarterback Lynch found Malone down the sideline on a 44-yard strike before the of-fense stalled and settled for a 40-yard Jake Elliott field goal. The Memphis defense stifled the Rebels’ offense when it mattered most on a 15-play, six-plus min-ute drive in the second quarter as Ole Miss’ Andrew Fletcher missed a 40-yard field goal to give the Tigers the ball, down 7-3. After receiving a second-opportunity when Mem-phis’ Reggis Ball recovered a muffed punt at the Ole Miss 46, the Tigers were unable to capitalize on a third and two. But a Spencer Smith punt pinned the Rebels inside the five with six minutes remaining in the half. McCain picked off his second pass of the night with just over two minutes remaining in the half, giving the senior seven interceptions in his last nine games after leading the country a year ago in the category. Lynch’s Hail Mary attempt at the end of the first half fell harmlessly to the turf as Ole Miss took a 7-3 lead into the intermission. The Tigers opened the second-half with a drive that crossed into Rebels’ territory, but a third-down run by Lynch came up two yards short of the first-down mark-er, resulting in the punt team taking the field. Ole Miss’ Wallace was then pressured up the middle two-plays later where he coughed up the ball, giving the Blue and Gray the ball in plus-territory for the second posses-sion of the half. But three plays later, the Rebels’ Trae Elston took a Lynch interception 47-yards to the Memphis 33. The Tigers defense would hold again near the red-zone, forcing a field goal attempt from 43 yards out that missed wide left. The Tigers’ defense would hold Ole Miss in the red zone, but the Rebels would eventually cap off the 16 play, 75-yard drive with a 19-yard field goal by Elston to give Mississippi a 10-3 lead with 13:04 remaining in the contest.

Ole Miss would push the lead to two-possessions after a Jaylen Walton 23-yard rush up the middle fol-lowing a strip-sack by Lynch with 9:34 remaining in the game, 17-3. The Rebels would add a late touchdown on a 17 yard pass from Wallace to Treadwell with just over a minute remaining to push the lead to 24-3. Wallace finished with 248 yards and a pair of touch-downs to Treadwell. Walton led all rushers with 78 yards on 10 attempts and a touchdown. Treadwell reeled in five catches for 123 yards including a long of 63.

Paxton Lynch passed for a career-high 311 yards and two touchdowns and ran for two more scores as Memphis opened American Athletic Conference play with a 41-14 win over Cincinnati at Paul Brown Stadi-um. Lynch directed an offense that amassed 610 yards of total offense, third most in a single game in school history. It was the most yards of offense since the 1984 Memphis team had 630 yards against Cincinna-ti. Lynch threw touchdown passes of nine and 29 yards in the first quarter and his 10-yard touchdown run later in the period put the Tigers ahead, 24-7. He added a 10-yard scoring run late in the third quarter for the final points of the game. In addition to Lynch’s passing numbers, the Tigers ran racked up 299 rushing yards. Sam Craft made his first career start at running back and carried the ball 38 times for 170 yards and a touchdown. Craft’s 38 carries was a top-five perfor-mance by a Tiger. Defensively, Tank Jakes had 10 tackles including three for loss and a pair of quarterback sacks.

Looking at the final outcome, it is hard to believe how it started. On the first play from scrimmage, Cincinnati quar-terback Gunner Kiel hooked up with Mekale McCay for an 80-yard touchdown pass, putting the Bearcats out in front 7-0 just 17 seconds into the game. The Tigers, however, would quickly respond. Bobby McCain’s 59-yard return of the ensuing kickoff gave Memphis the ball on the shortside of the field. Lynch’s 9-yard touchdown pass to Tevin Jones capped a seven-play, 41-yard drive. Cincinnati’s next drive ended with a Kiel pass be-ing intercepted by Bakari Hollier at the UC 48 and a face mask penalty on the play set up the Tigers at the 33. Three plays into the Tigers’ next series, Lynch hooked up with Adrian Henderson for a 29-yard touchdown pass and a 14-7 UM lead. Jake Elliott would later add the first of his two, 20-yard field goals. A Cincinnati turnover would lead to Lynch’s 10-yard touchdown run with 1:06 to play in the opening quarter. Jakes sacked Kiel on back-to-back plays. On the second, he stripped Kiel of the ball. Cortez Crosby re-covered at the Cincinnati 11 and help set up Lynch’s eventual scoring run. In the final minutes of the first half, Kiel had a six-yard touchdown pass to Shaq Washington get called back by an offensive pass interference call. Cincinnati would later miss a 38-yard field goal. Kiel would suffer a chest injury on the final play of the first half and would not return to play after intermission. He finished the game by completing 11-of-27 passes for 216 yards. Munchie Legaux took over for Kiel in the second half and directed the Bearcats on a scoring drive UC’s first series of the second half. Rod Moore had 24 rushing yards on four carries on the drive, including a five-yard touchdown run. Memphis would respond with a 75-yard drive to extend its lead to 34-14. Sam Craft converted a third-and-six play early with a nine-yard run while an 11-yard Lynch to Keiwone Malone pass got the ball to midfield. Lynch would also complete a 23-yard pass to Tevin Jones and a 16-yard pass to Roderick Proctor moved the ball into the red zone. Craft culminated the drive with a six-yard touchdown run. Lynch would add a 10-yard scoring run with three minutes to play in the third quarter. Memphis would close the game with a 20-play

drive that consumed the final 12:55 of the game. The loss was Cincinnati’s worse since a 38-0 loss to West Virginia on Nov. 9, 2005. “We built this game up all week,” Memphis coach Justin Fuente said. “It was important to us. I’m awful-ly proud of this team.” Memphis ran 94 offensive plays and had the ball for 40:55. The Tigers held possession in the fourth quarter for all but 40 seconds.

Memphis was hindered by five turnovers, includ-ing two that halted the Tigers’ final two offensive se-ries as the UM dropped a 28-24 decision to Houston. UM quarterback Paxton Lynch finished 26-of-37 with 243 yards, two touchdowns and three intercep-tions, while adding 35 yards rushing and a rushing touchdown. Sam Craft led the Tigers in rushing with 49 yards on 17 touches. Tevin Jones caught six passes for 72 yards and a score. Defensively Terry Redden and Martin Ifedi led the Blue and Gray with seven tackles. Redden logged six solo stops along with half a sack and 1.5 tackles for loss. Ifedi, Jackson Dillon and Leonard Pegues each recorded two tackles for loss. The Tigers forced a turnover on Houston’s opening possession when Fritz Etienne picked off Greg Ward, Jr.’s pass to give Memphis the ball at the Houston 27. A three-and-out by the Blue and Gray saw Jake El-liot’s 44-yard field goal attempt go wide left. After forcing a three-and-out on the Cougar’s next possession, the Tigers marched 72 yards in seven plays. The drive was capped off when Lynch found Jones with blockers set up on the screen for 18 yards

and a touchdown at the 8:35 mark in the first quar-ter. Lynch orchestrated the offense on the series, go-ing 4-for-4 with 54 passing yards and a TD. Houston would drive the length of the field after a miscue on the kickoff, starting at its own 14 yard line. The Cougars would push the ball inside the red zone, but back-to-back TFL’s by Leonard Pegues, Jackson Dillon and Noah Robinson and an incomplete pass brought out the field goal unit. Steven Aikens’ field-goal attempt of 31 yards missed wide left. The Tigers would go three-and-out on the next possession, but a muffed punt rekindled the drive for the Blue and Gray. Lynch scampered around the left side for six yards to find pay dirt and put the Tigers up 14-0 with 14:29 remaining in the second. Making his first start, Ward answered with a scor-ing strike of his own as he eluded the pass rush and escaped down the field for the 64-yard touchdown to cut the lead in half, 14-7, at the 12:47 mark in the second quarter. The Cougars would tie the game at 14 after Ken-neth Farrow punched the ball in from two yards out. The Houston drive was set up by a Lynch pass that was intercepted by Lee Hightower, which was re-turned to the end zone, but a block in the back call during the return negated the touchdown and start-ed the drive at the Memphis 21. After exchanging punts over the next several pos-sessions, Memphis took over with 2:06 remaining in the half set up in Houston territory by a 23 yard punt return by Keiwone Malone to the 39. Lynch would find Daniel Montief on a play action to give the Tigers the 21-14 lead with a minute left in the half. Following the intermission, Houston mounted a drive to tie the game at 21 with 4:36 remaining in the third quarter. The Cougars went 85 yards in eight plays before Jackson Ryan found the end zone to tie the game. Houston would take its first lead of the game with 13:34 remaining in the final quarter when Ward found Markieth Ambles from 25 yards out for a score, 28-21. The Tigers answered with a scoring drive of their own, putting up a field goal behind the leg of Elliot from 31 yards out to cut Houston’s lead to 28-24. Needing a three-and-out to give the offense a chance to score the go-ahead touchdown, the Mem-phis defense held Houston to three-straight negative plays and forcing a punt. The Tigers special teams came up big as well, downing the following punt at the three yard line. The defense of the Blue and Gray

came up with a second-straight three-and-out, giving the offense the ball at the Houston 42. But a Tevin Jones fumble gave the Cougars back the ball on the proceeding play. The Tigers took over with 1:52 on the clock at the Memphis 26 and picked up a first down, but a Lynch interception over the middle of the field by Efram Oli-phant sealed the game, 28-24. Ward led all rushers with 95 yards and a score , adding another 168 yards through the air.

Paxton Lynch passed for 307 yards and Brandon Hayes ran for 101 yards, while Memphis’ defense held SMU to 251 yards as the Tigers won their second straight league game on the road, 48-10. Memphis’ offense took a couple series to get roll-ing before scoring on eight straight possessions in the game. The Tigers moved the ball to near midfield before a fourth-down run came up short of the down mark-er. SMU would be forced to punt on its first offensive series. Lynch moved the Tigers’ offense into SMU territo-ry on its second offensive series but would have the ball stripped on a pass play and Memphis would turn the ball over for the only time on the day. Memphis’ offense would then find its groove. Lynch and Phil Mayhue hooked up for the team’s longest play from scrimmage this season, a 54-yard touchdown pass that put the Tigers on the board. Jarvis Cooper, who ran for 93 yards, scored the first of two touchdowns on the day with a one-yard plunge. The score capped a 14-play, 80-yard drive

that was highlighted by a 31-yard Cooper run to SMU 25. A 42-yard Lynch pass to Mayhue would help set up Alan Cross’ one-yard touchdown dive with 9:08 to play in the first half as the Tigers built a 21-0 lead. After SMU moved the ball 75 yards on 12 plays, scoring its first touchdown at home on a one-yard Prescott Line run, Memphis capped the half with 10 more points. Hayes scored on a 36-yard touchdown run with 1:23 to play to give the Tigers a 28-7 lead. SMU quarterback Garrett Krstich was intercepted by Reggis Ball on the Mustangs’ next offensive play. The Tigers would add a 37-yard field goal by Jake El-liott to lead 31-7 at the break. Elliott would add a 22-yard field goal on the Tigers’ first offensive series of the second half. Successive passes of 18 and 29 yards from Lynch to tight end Daniel Montiel would highlight a 71-yard scoring drive capped by a seven-yard Cooper touch-down run. SMU would boot a third-quarter field goal. Memphis’ final points came on a 29-yard touch-down pass from Jason Stewart to tight end Robby Young. The play marked the first pass and catch for the Tiger tandem. Memphis’ 582 yards of total offense at SMU was the sixth-highest total offense total at Memphis. The Tigers finished with a season-high 352 passing yards, the 13th-highest, single game total. Memphis’ 367 yards in the first half was a season high for a half. It was the fourth time Memphis has had 300+ yards of offense in a half this season, with all four coming in the first half. Lynch’s 307 passing yards on the day was four shy of a career high. Mayhue, who entered the game with five catches for 63 yards, had two receptions for 96 yards against the Mustangs. Tevin Jones caught five passes for 70 yards, marking the third straight game the receiver has caught five balls in a game. Defensively, Memphis held the Mustangs to just 137 yards rushing and 114 passing. The defense forced three-and-out series five times during the game. Senior defensive end Martin Ifedi had five tackles including one for a loss which moved head onto the top-10 list for TFLs at Memphis.

Senior linebacker Charles Harris had four tackles and broke up a pass. Defensive backs Andrew Gaines and Reggis Ball each had interceptions in the game which led to scores. It was the second career inter-ception for both.

Editor’s Note: Brandon Hayes was originally credited with 101 rushing yards, but a change in the official stats made on Nov. 7 dropped his total for the game to 99 yards.

Memphis senior running back Brandon Hayes nearly outscored the Golden Hurricane himself, find-ing the end zone for three touchdowns during a ca-reer-high, 199-yard rushing night as the Tigers beat Tulsa 40-20. Hayes’ effort marked the 16th-best rushing perfor-mance and the most yards by a Tiger since 2009. Along with Hayes’ performance, sophomore place-kicker Jake Elliott scored a career-high 16 points for Memphis. He booted four field goals in-cluding two from more than 50 yards. Elliott also tacked on four extra points. It was actually Tulsa who got on the board first. Memphis received the opening kickoff, and after a lengthy 12-play, 55 yard-drive, Elliott missed a 39-yard field goal into the wind. After the two teams traded punts, Memphis had the ball at its own six with 11 seconds remaining in the first quarter. Jarvis Cooper fumbled the ensuing play and De-Marco Nelson took it in to give the Golden Hurricane a 7-0 lead. The Tigers would respond quickly, as they went 29 yards on five plays in 29 seconds to give Elliott an-other attempt. He was on target this time, and his

53-yard field goal, which tied for the second longest in school history, sailed through the uprights to make it 7-3. TU got the ball back less than a minute after it scored its first touchdown, and the Golden Hurricane marched down the field. A nine-play, 75-yard drive was capped by Dane Evans finding Derek Patterson for 28 yards and a touchdown. After falling behind 14-3, Memphis scored 30 un-answered points. After TU’s second score, Bakari Hollier’s 26-yard return of a short kickoff set the Tigers up at the Mem-phis 46. Paxton Lynch hooked up with Adrian Henderson for 24 yards to the Tulsa 30. From there, Lynch and Hayes would take turns running the ball down the field, before Lynch took it in himself from three yards out to cut the lead to four. Tulsa took the ball and marched back down the field, getting down to the Memphis 20-yard line be-fore the Tigers stopped them on three-straight plays. TU kicker Carl Salazar came out to attempt a 37-yard field goal, but the U of M had other plans. Because of the wind, Salazar had to keep the ball lower, which allowed Jackson Dillon to break through and block the attempt, keeping the score at 14-10 and swinging momentum the Tigers’ way. On the first play of the next possession, Hayes gained 21 yards. Then, a targeting penalty on the next play added 15 yards to the end of a six-yard pass. The penalty also meant that Tulsa lost lineback-er Craig Suits for the remainder of the evening. Memphis would have to settle for a 37-yard field goal after a couple of holding penalties stalled the drive. Elliott’s kick was true, and it was 14-13 Tulsa with just under two minutes to play in the half. It looked as if that might be the score at the break, but the Tiger defense caused a quick three-and-out. After a 20-yard punt, Memphis took over at its own 48 with 1:20 remaining in the half and a chance to take the lead. After two quick plays for a net gain of one yard, the Tigers were facing a third and nine. Instead of forcing a throw, Lynch handed off to Hayes and he did the rest, taking it 51 yards to paydirt. The score completely flipped the game around and gave Mem-phis its first lead at 20-14. It was a lead the Tigers wouldn’t relinquish. Tulsa received the ball to open the second half, but they quickly went three and out. The Tiger de-fense would force the Golden Hurricane to do that on five-straight possessions into the third quarter. Memphis was unable to get anything going on its own first two possessions, but finally broke through

on the third. After the Tiger defense forced Tulsa to punt from its own eight, Lynch and the offense took over at their opponent’s 49 and 9:10 remaining in the third quarter. Lynch found Mose Frazier for 16 yards to the Tulsa 33. Memphis would pick up three more yards before making way for Elliott, who booted it through from 47 yards to make it a two score ball-game 23-14. Elliott would add a 51-yard field goal late in the third quarter. Hayes would score from 30 and 14 yards out in the fourth quarter.

Memphis place-kicker Jake Elliott booted a 31-yard field goal as time expired to lift the Tigers to a 16-13 win over Temple. With the program’s third straight victory, Memphis became bowl eligible for the first time since 2008. Elliott’s field goal culminated a 12-play, 66-yard drive which consumed the game’s final 2:40. Temple’s Austin Jones kicked a 46-yard field goal with 2:46 to play, tying the game at 13-13. Memphis had managed just 201 yards of total offense through three quarters. But the Tigers per-fectly executed the two-minute offense to get in to position for the game-winning field goal. Right out of the gate, Paxton Lynch hooked up with Mose Frazier for a 12-yard completion to spark the series. Frazier, who had a career-high eight catch-es for 110 yards on the night, also caught a first-down pass for four yards to midfield. Brandon Hayes would catch a seven-yard pass, and Tevin Jones’ 12-yard reception to the Temple 31

moved the Tigers into field goal range with 51 sec-onds to play. Keiwone Malone would add an 11-yard reception to the 20 before Hayes ran for nine more to the 11. A couple runs by Lynch moved the ball to the center of the field for Elliott. Memphis had come back from a 10-0, first-quarter deficit. Jones capped Temple’s first offensive series with a 43-yard field goal and Kenneth Harper would later have a 75-yard scoring run in the quarter. Harper’s run was the longest against the Tigers this season. Temple’s opening-drive field goal marked just the second time this season an opponent had scored on its opening series (Cincinnati score a touchdown on its first drive). The Tigers got on the board in the second quarter after Tevin Jones blocked a punt which was recov-ered by Frazier at the Temple 31. Elliott would boot a 42-yard field goal. Temple’s next punt by Alex Starzyk went just 16 yards to the Memphis 41 and on first down, Frazier snarred a catch for a 42-yard pickup to the Temple 17. Hayes would later cover that distance with a touchdown catch and Elliott’s PAT tied the game at 10-10. A fumbled punt return by the Owls set the Tigers up for a 27-yard, go-ahead field goal by Elliott with 1:39 to play in the third quarter. With the three field goals during the game, Elliott moved to seventh in career field goals made. He now has 31 for his career. And with his 10 points scored, Elliott posted his third-straight game with 10-plus points and fifth of the career. In addition to kicking three field goals against Tem-ple, Elliott had two touchbacks among his four kick-offs. A third Elliott kick was returned out of the end zone for jus a 17-yard gain. Memphis finished the night with 312 yards of total offense, while Temple had 298 yards. Lynch completed 21-of-28 passes for 230 yards and a touchdown. During the game, the sophomore signal caller surpassed the 2,000-yard season passing mark for a second straight year. Lynch became just the third Memphis quarterback to pass for multiple,

2,000-yard seasons. Hayes went over the 2,000-yard rushing mark for his career during the game. Memphis was 3-for-3 on red zone opportunities, while the Tigers’ defense held the Owls scoreless on two red zone opportunities.

Memphis cornerbacks Bobby McCain and Dontrell Nelson each had pick-six interceptions as the Tigers defeated Tulane 38-7, spoiling the Green Wave’s first on-campus homecoming game in more than 40 years. The 2014 season marked Tulane’s first playing back on campus in Yulman Stadium. With the win, Memphis notched its fourth Ameri-can Athletic Conference road win. Memphis won four conference road games for the first time in program history. At 4-2, the Tigers equaled their best road mark since 2004. “I think that we have a group that, I kind of like when we get them out of town,” explained Memphis head coach Justin Fuente. “Quite honestly, we have an ability to focus and to dial in to the task at hand. We’re here for only one reason, and we don’t stay very long. We come in here to play a game and then get the heck out.” Memphis’ defense set the tone during its first se-ries on the field. On Tulane’s second play from scrimmage, McCain stepped in front of a receiver, picking off a pass and returning it 15 yards for the Tigers’ first points. Mem-

phis led 7-0 less than two minutes into the game. Tulane quarterback Tanner Lee was also intercept-ed on the Green Wave’s second series by Andrew Gaines. With an offense that struggled early, accounting for just 93 total yards in the first half, Memphis would need a solid defensive performance along with solid special teams. Memphis place-kicker Jake Elliott gave the Tigers a 10-0 lead in the second quarter with a 22-yard field goal. Freshman punter Spencer Smith would average 46.9 yards on eight punts, including four of 50+ yards and three inside Tulane’s 20. A Tulane fumble recovered by Ryan Coleman would set up the Tigers’ first offensive touchdown. Memphis quarterback Paxton Lynch was able to find receiver Mose Frazier deep for a 38-yard touch-down pass. “I saw him rolling and I just got in his vision,” Fra-zier said. “I was hoping he would look up field. He did, he let it go, and I went and got it.” Frazier led Memphis with five receptions for 59 yards. Lynch completed 14-of-25 passes for 178 yards. The Tigers would stretch their lead to 24-0 on Nel-son’s 58-yard interception return for a touchdown with 2:56 to play in the third quarter. “The defense played a great game today,” Frazier said. “They constantly bailed us out even though the offense started very slow. Bobby came out with a pick-6 and then Dontrell came out with a pick-6. Throughout the game they made stops every time we couldn’t get anything going. Every time we got stopped, they went out and made a stop too.” Lynch would cap Memphis’ next offensive series with a four-yard touchdown run, extending the Ti-gers’ lead to 31-0 with four seconds left in the third quarter. The Tiger defense pitched a shutout for three quarters. Tulane would finally get on the board by going 91 yards on 11 plays with Dontrell Hilliard scor-ing from 19 yards out with 1:55 to play. Memphis would answer the late, Green Wave score. After a failed on-side kick by Tulane, Memphis running back Robert Davis had three straight runs, scoring from two yards out. Davis began the drive with a 39-yard run and also carried for a six-yard gain. Davis was the Tigers’ co-leader in rushing yards with 47, matching Brandon Hayes’ game total. Tulane outgained Memphis 351 yards to 334. The Tigers, however, forced a season-high five takeaways - three picks and two fumble recoveries. Memphis

scored a season-high 21 points off turnovers in the win. McCain’s first-quarter interception marked the se-nior’s fourth career pick-six. He also had an intercep-tion return for a touchdown at Tulane his freshman season. In addition to his interception returned four a touchdown, Nelson had a quarterback sack for a five-yard loss and two tackles for lost yardage.

Paxton Lynch scored using his feet and his arm as he led the Tigers to a 31-20 victory against USF. Lynch scored a pair of rushing touchdowns and two more through the air, making him responsible for all four touchdowns the Tigers scored on the af-ternoon. With the performance, Lynch moved past Steve Matthews (1992-93), Billy Fletcher (1963-65), and Dave Casinelli (1960-63) for sixth all-time in TDs responsible for. Senior defensive end Martin Ifedi’s sack in the fourth quarter gave him 22.5 for his career, breaking the program record Tramont Lawless (1996-99) had held. Memphis started the game from its own 25 af-ter receiving the opening kick. A 47-yard run from Brandon Hayes brought the ball down to the South Florida 30, but a penalty stalled the drive and forced a field goal attempt. Jake Elliott’s kick from 45 yards missed wide right. USF took over at its own 27 and drove down the field using a couple of big, third-down completions. The Bulls had first down and goal from the five, but the Tigers defense stiffened and forced South Florida to settle for a 21-yard field goal.

Memphis responded on its next drive, taking the ball nine plays and 75 yards in just over three min-utes. The drive was helped along after a roughing the passer penalty call against the Bulls on a play where Lynch hit Keiwone Malone for 15 yards. The penalty put the ball on the 25 yard line in USF territory. After a two-yard loss, Lynch broke off a 24-yard rush that, after review, was placed at the one. Lynch would take it in himself on the next play for six. After Elliott add-ed the PAT, it was Memphis 7, USF 3. The U of M took over at its own 44 with 2:41 re-maining in the first quarter and would methodically drive down the field, before scoring on the final play of the quarter. Hayes took it to midfield on the first play, and then Lynch found Alan Cross for 18 yards. Hayes took it seven yards on the next two plays, and then 12 more a couple of plays later. Lynch finished the drive by rushing it in from the five. Elliott’s extra point made it 14-3, Memphis. It didn’t take USF long to respond, as the first play of the second quarter, following a touchback, was a 75-yard touchdown run from Marlon Mack, making it 14-10. The lead would only stay within four for a minute and a half, as Memphis took it right down the field. Lynch found Adrian Henderson for 24 yards on the second play of the drive. After a six-yard rush from Hayes, Lynch hit Mose Frazier for 42 yards and the touchdown, bringing the score to 21-10. USF’s next possession was a long one. It spanned 16 plays and 8:03 of game clock, but only resulted in another field goal. Memphis had an opportunity to cut the drive short early on, but a personal foul for a horse collar tackle negated what was a drive-ending sack on third down. After Marvin Kloss knocked his second field goal through, it was 21-13. That was the last points USF would muster until just a few minutes remained. At the break, Memphis had outgained USF 288-213, and had earned four more first downs than its opponent. Hayes rushed for 102 yards in the first half, his second time to break the century mark this season. Lynch had 38 yards rushing himself, includ-ing two touchdowns. He also had 149 yards and a TD through the air. The Memphis defense forced three fumbles in the half, but was unable to turn any of them into turn-overs. The second half began with USF taking over at its own 19. After a few first downs, the drive stalled and the Bulls punted from midfield. The two teams would then have back-to-back three and outs. USF’s came inside its own five, after a Nick Jacobs’ punt was downed inside the one.

The resulting USF punt gave Memphis ideal posi-tion at the Bulls’ 27, and the Tigers would take advan-tage in two plays. Lynch hit Mayhue for 16 yards to the 11, and then he found Hayes for the touchdown to make it 28-13.

G a m e N o . 1 2 - v s u C o n n

The University of Memphis football team claimed at least a share of the fifth conference championship in school history, with a 41-10 rout of UConn on Sat-urday afternoon at the Liberty Bowl. The Tigers (9-3) pick up their ninth win of the season and most in a single regular season since 1963. UConn falls to 2-9 and 1-6 in American Athletic Conference play as the Blue and Gray even the all-time series 1-1. The Blue and Gray capped off the balanced offen-sive approach with 178 rushing yards and 194 pass-ing yards while the defense stymied the Huskies for the majority of the evening, allowing 107 rushing yards and 162 yards through the air. Sophomore quarterback Paxton Lynch found the end zone often in the contest, throwing for 194 yards and four scoring tosses while adding 40 yards rushing on nine carries. The four touchdown passes were a career-high for the sophomore from Deltona, Fla. Lynch finished the night 22-of-41 and his four TD passes were the second most in a single game in school history.

Senior Brandon Hayes rushed for 60 yards to lead the Tigers’ running game. Senior Keiwone Malone pulled in seven catches, including a pair of touchdowns from seven and nine yards out. On his senior day, the wide receiver had a game-high 70 yards in the winning effort. The Memphis defense baffled the Huskies for much of the game with six three-and-outs on 14 pos-sessions along with a fumble recovery and an inter-ception in the third quarter. The Tigers were forced to punt on the opening possession before back-to-back series of 13 and eight plays resulted in Jake Elliot field goals from 21 and 22 yards out. The Blue and Gray eventually broke the seal of the end zone just before halftime, when Malone hauled in a Lynch pass with 1:55 to play be-fore the intermission to give the Tigers a 13-0 lead. But UConn got on the board before the end of the half, as Bobby Puyol connected on a field goal from 45 yards out with three seconds to put the Huskies on the board. After a first half riddled with mistakes for both teams, Memphis poured it on in the second half, finding the end zone on four separate occasions de-spite running eight plays for 16 yards on its first two possessions after the break. The Tigers capitalized on the first of the Huskies turnovers, a fumble recovered by Martin Ifedi and forced by Derek Howard, on another nine-yard scor-ing toss from Lynch to Malone, pushing the score to 20-3 and sparking a run of three straight series with touchdown passes. A three-and-out forced by the Memphis defense gave the offense the ball back with decent field po-sition, looking to further expand on the lead. The Ti-gers marched methodically down the field, going 65 yards on nine plays, capping the drive with a beauti-ful one-handed catch in the endzone by Tevin Jones. On the following play from scrimmage, Memphis’ Fritz Etienne picked off a Tim Boyle pass at the 40 yard line for his third interception of the season. The Tigers’ offense found the Promised Land six plays later on a 21-yard strike from Lynch to Phil Mayhue for Lynch’s third-straight drive with a scoring toss. During those three drives, Lynch went 8-of-10 for 79 yards. The Huskies wouldn’t be denied a trip to the end-zone, however. Trailing 34-3, UConn’s Boyle connect-

ed with Arkeel Newsome from 39 yards out to cut into the deficit with just over 12 minutes remaining in the game. Memphis’ Jarvis Cooper would round out the cav-alcade of scoring, punching it in from a yard out with just five minutes remaining for a 41-10 Tigers lead. In their final home game, seniors Tank Jakes and Bobby McCain recorded nine and seven tackles, re-spectively, to lead a defense that yielded 17 points or fewer in seven games this season.

Dramatic. It’s certainly one word which epito-mized Memphis’ 55-48, double-overtime win over BYU in the inaugural Miami Beach Bowl. Memphis had to overcome five turnovers includ-ing a 19-yard, BYU interception return for a touch-down with 7:48 to play in regulation which gave the Cougars a 45-38 lead. In the final minutes of the fourth quarter, the Tigers had to convert two, fourth-down plays. The second conversion resulted in a five-yard touchdown pass from Paxton Lynch to Keiwone Malone with 45 seconds to play, tying the game at 45-45. In the first overtime period, Jake Elliott needed to kick the longest field goal ever in an overtime period – a 54-yarder – just to send the game on to a second overtime series. After Memphis had scored in the second overtime period, DaShaughn Terry intercepted a pass on BYU’s second play from scrimmage to end the game. Quarterback Paxton Lynch equaled an NCAA bowl record for touchdowns responsible for with seven en

route Miami Beach Bowl’s Most Valuable Player hon-ors. Lynch completed 24-of-46 passes for 306 yards and four touchdowns including the game-winning, 11-yard strike to Roderick Proctor in the end zone to cap Memphis’ second overtime series on offense. Lynch also ran for 38 yards and three scores. In his final game as a Tiger, Malone caught six passes for 75 yards and two touchdowns. He also had a career-long, 41-yard run in the game. The two teams combined to run an NCAA bowl record-tying 188 offensive plays including 97 by the Tigers (tied for seventh-most in a bowl game) and ac-count for a combined for 905 yards of offense. Memphis twice led by 10 points in the game, the last coming with 3:45 to play in the third quarter, when Alan Cross hauled in a 17-yard touchdown pass from Lynch. The Cougars wold take advantage of three, fourth-quarter Memphis turnovers to go from 10 points down to leading 45-38 when Zac Stout re-turned his interception for a score with 7:48 to play. Late in the game and the Tigers trailing by seven, punter Nick Jacobs pinned BYU at its own four-yard line. A three-and-out series by the Cougars followed by a short punt and a nine-yard return by Joe Craig gave the Tigers the ball at the BYU 33 with 2:34 left in the fourth quarter. Lynch and Malone would first hook up on a fourth-and-seven pass play for a 15-yard pickup to the Cou-gar 11. Four plays later and facing another fourth down, Lynch would scramble and Malone would make a diving catch in the end zone to help tie the game in the final minute. Trevor Samson kicked a 45-yard field goal to give BYU a 48-45 lead in the first overtime period. After Memphis’ first offensive series in overtime lost 12 yards on three plays, Elliott was called on to boot the 54-yard field goal to extend the game. In addition to being the longest in an overtime period, the field goal tied for the fourth-longest in a bowl game. In the second overtime period, Malone caught a 15-yard pass on second down and following a Bran-don Hayes’ four-yard run, Lynch found Proctor open in the end zone for the rookie’s first career touch-down reception.
