Bowl Bound Tigers u u u u
For the 10th time in program history and the eighth time since 2003, the University of Memphis is bowl bound. The Tigers have a 5-4 record in their previous nine bowl appearances. Last season, Memphis dropped a 31-10 decision to Auburn in the Birmingham Bowl. The Tigers’ last bowl win was a thrilling 55-48 double-OT victory over BYU in the 2014 Miami Beach Bowl.
Three In A Row (For The Second Time)
With their invitation to the 2016 Boca Raton Bowl, the Tigers are playing in their third-straight postseason bowl. This three-year bowl stretch began at the 2014 Miami Beach Bowl, and a 2015 Birmingham Bowl appearance followed. u It is the second time in program history Memphis has played in three-consecutive bowls. In addition to the current streak, the Tigers also played in three-straight bowls from 2003-05 (2003 New Orleans Bowl, 2004 GMAC Bowl, 2005 Motor City Bowl). u Memphis went 2-1 in its previous three-year bowl streak. The Tigers have a 1-1 record in their last two bowls. u u

Former Miami Beach Bowl Winners Meet
Memphis and Western Kentucky face off in the Dec. 20 Boca Raton Bowl, and both programs have one similarity in their recent bowl histories. u The Tigers played in the inaugural Miami Beach Bowl in 2014 and recorded a thrilling 55-48 double-OT victory over BYU. u In the second-annual Miami Beach Bowl in 2015, the Hilltoppers defeated USF 45-35. u Now, Memphis and Western Kentucky move an hour north of Miami (approximately 47 miles) to meet in the 2016 Boca Raton Bowl. u
Tigers In Sunshine State Bowls
Memphis is making its third postseason appearance in the state of Florida Dec. 20 when it faces Western Kentucky in the Boca Raton Bowl. u The Tigers split their previous two bowl visits to the Sunshine State. Memphis fell to USF in the 2008 St. Petersburg Bowl and defeated BYU in the 2014 Miami Beach Bowl. u
Norvell In Florida Bowls
Memphis first-year head coach Mike Norvell is making his first postseason appearance in the state of Florida. The closest Norvell got to the state of Florida in the postseason previously was in his time as an assistant coach at Tulsa from 2007-10. u The 2007 and 2008 Tulsa squads, with Norvell on staff, posted consecutive wins in the GMAC Bowl in Mobile, Ala. The 2007 Golden Hurricane defeated Bowling Green 63-7, and the 2008 Tulsa team upset No. 22 Ball State 45-13. u Mobile, Ala., is located approximately 52 miles from the Florida state line. u In his overall coaching career, Norvell is 0-2 in his trips to Florida. Both visits were to Orlando as a Tulsa assistant in 2007, and both were setbacks to UCF (44-23 in regular season; 44-25 in C-USA title game). u

Memphis is making its first trip to Boca Raton, Fla., and the campus of Florida Atlantic University. The Boca Raton Bowl is played at FAU Stadium. u The Tigers, though, have played the team that calls FAU Stadium home. u Memphis faced the Florida Atlantic Owls in the 2007 New Orleans Bowl. The Owls won the contest 44-27. u
DECEMBER 20, 2016 FAU STADIUM / BOCA RATON, FLA. Heading Home, Part I
For six Tigers players, the Boca Raton Bowl is a trip back to their home state of Florida. The six Tigers are: Chauncey Lanier (Davie), Chris Morley (Plantation), Roderick Proctor (Orlando), Nick Raby (Cape Coral), B.J. Ross (Melbourne) and Ernest Suttles (Tampa). u Lanier and Morley are the two closest to Boca Raton. Morley’s hometown of Plantation is 23 miles from Boca Raton, and Lanier’s hometown of Davie is 29 miles. u The families of the other four Floridians can plan to travel over 125 miles to Boca Raton for the bowl game. The longest trip is for Suttles’ family and friends, who are going to travel 227 miles from Tampa. u u

Elliott Loves The Sunshine (State) u
Battle Between Winningest
Although Hilltoppers head coach Jeff Brohm moved on to Purdue, the Western Kentucky staff still has a couple of coaches that longtime Tigers fans remember. u Hilltoppers co-offensive coordinator Tony Levine coached at Houston from 2008-14, with the last three seasons as the Cougars head coach. Levine faced Memphis three times as the Cougars head coach. u Western Kentucky defensive tackles coach Don Dunn coached the same position at Ole Miss from 1995-98. Over those four campaigns, the Rebels and Tigers played twice. u Hilltoppers co-offensive coordinator Brian Brohm, who is expected to follow his brother Jeff to Purdue, played QB at Louisville from 2004-07. Brian faced the Tigers only once in his career. u
Bowl History
Hey, We Know You!
2016 review
When Memphis and Western Kentucky face off Dec. 20, fans in attendance and those watching on television will see two of the Football Bowl Subdivision’s (FBS) winningest programs in recent seasons. u In the last three years, the Tigers and Hilltoppers are in the FBS top-20 programs in both overall wins and winning percentage. u Memphis is tied 16th nationally with 27 overall wins and also tied 16th nationally in winning percentage at 71.1 percent. u Western Kentucky is tied seventh nationally with 30 overall victories and is 11th nationally in winning percentage at 75 percent. u The two programs also have done quite well in their respective leagues the past three seasons (2014-16). u Memphis has a 17-7 record in American Athletic Conference play and won one conference crown the last three campaigns. u Western Kentucky has a 19-5 mark in Conference USA and won two league titles from 2014-16. u
Players
Senior Jake Elliott must love playing in the state of Florida. The Tigers All-America kicker has kicked six of the program’s top-10 longest FG in games played in the state of Florida, including the two longest of 56 and 54 yards. u As a freshman in 2013, the two-time American Athletic Conference Special Teams Player of the Year (2014, 2015) connected on a school-record and career-long 56-yarder in the first half at USF. The FG gave Memphis a 6-0 lead at that time, and the Tigers won the contest 23-10. u His 54-yarder is the second-longest in school history, but quite possibly the most dramatic. u With the Tigers trailing 48-45 BYU in the first OT of the Miami Beach Bowl, Elliott booted a 54-yard FG to knot the contest at 48-all. Elliott’s FG sent the game to a second OT, where Memphis won 55-48. u

Game Notes
One Tigers assistant is also making a homecoming to the state of Florida with the team’s Dec. 20 Boca Raton Bowl appearance. u Memphis offensive line coach Ryan Silverfield played at The Bolles School in Jacksonville, Fla., which is just over 300 miles from Boca Raton. u Silverfield was a member of Bulldogs teams from 1995-98 and helped lead The Bolles School to two Florida high school state titles in 1995 and 1998. u During his career, The Bolles School was ranked No. 1 in the USA Today Super 25 national high school football poll. u After graduation, Silverfield served as a Bulldogs assistant coach in 1999. u

Bowl History
2016 review
Noteworthy Mike Norvell became the first Tigers head coach to win his debut since 1984 with the win over Southeast Missouri. u Norvell is only the third head coach in Tigers football history to win his debut. u With the Tigers’ 77-3 victory over Bowling Green, Norvell became the only first-year head coach in Memphis football history to win his first three games. u Norvell was one of three first-year head coaches at the FBS level in 2016 to start 3-0. u In the modern era of Memphis football (since World War II), Norvell is the fourth head coach to win his conference debut. u Mike Norvell is the first head coach in program history to lead Memphis to bowl eligibility in his first season at the helm. u With the Nov. 25 win over Houston, Mike Norvell became the only first-year head coach in Memphis history to win eight games. u The win over No. 18/21 Houston marked the first over a nationally-ranked team by a first-year Tigers coach since 1975. u
Memphis Coach Mike Norvell Mike Norvell, who has been instrumental in developing dynamic, high-scoring offenses throughout his career, begins his first year as the head coach at the University of Memphis. Norvell was named the Tigers’ 24th head coach during a press conference held Dec. 4, on the university campus. Norvell joins the UofM family and Tiger Nation after coaching the previous four years at Arizona State University where he was the program’s deputy head coach and offensive coordinator. After breaking into coaching at his alma mater, the University of Central Arkansas, as a graduate assistant in 2006, Norvell joined Todd Graham’s coaching staff at Tulsa as wide receivers coach in 2007. He was a member of Graham’s staff at Tulsa four years (2007-2010), before coaching one season at Pittsburgh (2011). Norvell was hired as Arizona State’s offensive coordinator after Graham was named the head coach ahead of the 2012 season. In 2015, Arizona State ranked 23rd nationally in total offense, averaging 473.8 yards per game. The Sun Devils averaged 289 passing yards per game, ranking 20th in FBS Football. In addition to his administrative and offensive coordinating responsibilities, Norvell was also responsible for coaching ASU’s quarterbacks. He mentored ASU senior quarterback Mike Bercovici, who completed 290-of-480 passes for 3,442 yards and 26 touchdowns. In 2014, the Sun Devils’ offense ranked 16th in the nation in scoring (37 points per game) and 13th in touchdown passes (34). The offense finished with 5,750 total yards, including 2,194 on the ground and 3,556 through the air. Quarterback Taylor Kelly, who was named the Pac-12 Football Scholar-Athlete of
PB
the Year and ASU’s recipient of the Pac-12 Tom Hansen Medal of Honor (awarded annually to each member institution’s outstanding senior male and female student-athlete based on the exhibition of the greatest combination of performance and achievement in scholarship, athletics and leadership), concluded his time in the Maroon and Gold third in both career passing yards and touchdowns. At the conclusion of the 2015 regular season, Bercovici became the second consecutive winner of the award. Norvell’s guidance was also instrumental in the development of Bercovici, who was thrust into the starter’s role when Kelly was injured in the third game of the 2014 season. In three starts, Bercovici led ASU to a 2-1 record while throwing for 1,243 yards and nine touchdowns (only two interceptions) and completing 63 percent of his passes. Norvell was promoted to deputy head coach at Arizona State in December 2013. The 2013 Sun Devil offense was ranked 10th nationally in scoring, averaging 39.7 points per game. With Norvell mentoring, Kelly threw for 28 touchdowns. Combined with his 29 touchdown tosses in 2012, Kelly’s 57 scoring strikes in 2012-13 were the most for any Sun Devil quarterback in a two-season span. In addition, Kelly’s 3,635 passing yards in 2013 PB

7,796 career yards. Johnson averaged 202.2 all-purpose yards per game in 2010. In Tulsa’s 62-35 win over Hawai’i in the Sheraton Hawai’i Bowl, he averaged an incredible 21.73 yards per touch en route to 326 all-purpose yards. In 2008, Norvell’s receivers were a vital part of college football’s most prolific offense. Tulsa averaged an astounding 569.9 yards per game that season to lead the country. The Golden Hurricane ranked second nationally in scoring (47.1points/game) and ninth in passing yards (301.8 yards/game). Tulsa also topped the country in total offense in 2007 (543.9 yards/game) and set 29 school records, 15 Conference USA marks and four NCAA records. The ‘07 Golden Hurricane became the first team in NCAA history to have a 5,000-yard passer, a 1,000-yard rusher and three 1,000-yard receivers in a single season. Prior to Tulsa, Norvell was an offensive graduate assistant at his alma mater, Central Arkansas. In addition to coaching receivers and H-Backs, he was a significant contributor to UCA’s special teams. Norvell was accomplished on the field and in the classroom at Central Arkansas. A four-year starter at receiver, he finished his career as the school’s all-time leader in receptions (213) and ranked third in receiving yards (2,611). Norvell earned All-Gulf South honors and was the conference’s 2001 Freshman of the Year. He also was a two-time first-team Gulf South All-Academic honoree. Norvell earned his bachelor’s degree of education in social studies in 2005 and a master’s degree in training systems in 2007, both from UCA. Norvell is married to the former Maria Chiolino of Fort Smith, Arkansas. They have a daughter, Mila.

Game Notes
were the third-most in a single season. Norvell led a balanced and explosive offense in his first year with ASU, helping the Sun Devils set school marks at the quarterback, running back and tight end positions. Nowhere was Norvell’s influence felt more than at the quarterback position where Kelly, in his first season as ASU’s starting signal-caller, set the school record for completion percentage (67.1) and threw for the second-most touchdown passes (29) in school history. Combined with the talents of running back Marion Grice – scored the third-most touchdowns (19) in school history – and tight end Chris Coyle – 57 receptions were the most ever by an ASU tight end – The 2012 Sun Devils became the 14th team in NCAA FBS bowl history to score 60+ points in a bowl game (62 against Navy in Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl). Of the 464.5 total yards per game ASU averaged in 2012, 205.5 came on the ground, representing the second-best mark in the previous 25 seasons (since 1988). Norvell’s quick-strike offense also produced 58 scoring drives of three minutes or less in 2012. In his first full-time coaching opportunity at the University of Tulsa where he originally started as an offensive graduate assistant, Norvell soon transitioned to passing game coordinator and receivers coach before adding director of recruiting to his title in 2010. At Pitt in 2011, Norvell was the co-offensive coordinator, wide receivers coach and director of recruiting. While with Tulsa, the Golden Hurricane had five 1,000-yard receivers emerge under Norvell’s tutelage. His most accomplished pupil was All-America receiver Damaris Johnson, who led the country in all-purpose yards for two consecutive years and set the all-time NCAA FBS record for that category with Scoring Offense 2016 – 17th (39.5) 2015 – 34th (34.0) 2014 – 16th (36.9) 2013 – 10th (39.7) 2012 – 14th (38.3)

Three Years, 27 Victories
Memphis’ eight wins in 2016 ensures that the Tigers have produced the winningest three-year stretch in program history. The 27 total wins since the start of the 2014 season surpassed the three-year stretch from 1961-63 (25 wins). u Memphis started 2016 with a 3-0 record, marking the second-straight season the Tigers began a campaign with three wins. It is the first time in program history Memphis had back-to-back 3-0 starts. u In 2014 and 2015, Memphis posted back-to-back nine-win seasons for the first time since the 1949 (9-1) and 1950 (9-2) seasons. u The 19 total wins during 2014-15 are the most ever in a two-year stretch in Memphis history. u The 2015 season marked just the seventh time a Memphis team won at least nine games – 1938 (10-0), 1949 (9-1), 1950 (9-2), 1963 (9-0-1), 2003 (9-4), 2014 (10-3) and 2015 (9-3). u Prior to 2014, the last time Memphis won nine games came in 2003. And before that, the last time the Tigers won nine regular-season games was 1963. u Memphis’ seven conference wins in its second season as a member of the American Athletic Conference in 2014 set a program record. Over the 2014 and 2015 seasons, Memphis was 12-4 in American play. u In the last three years, the Tigers are among the FBS top-20 programs in both overall wins and winning percentage.

Many Firsts
for
Mike Norvell
Mike Norvell, the youngest head coach in FBS, celebrated his 35th birthday on Oct. 11 and has had plenty more to celebrate this season. Norvell became the only first-year head coach in Memphis history to win eight games with the thrilling 48-44 win over No. 18/21 Houston on Nov. 25. u Norvell is also the first Memphis head coach to win his debut since 1984, the first ever to win his first three games, the fourth in the modern era of Memphis football to win his conference debut (over AAC champion Temple) and the first in program history to lead Memphis to bowl eligibility in his first season at the helm. He is only the third head coach in program history to have a winning record in his first season. u The Nov. 25 win over Houston marked the first over a nationally-ranked team by a first-year Tigers coach since 1975. Richard Williamson beat No. 7 Auburn, 31-20, in his second game in charge. u In Norvell’s third game in charge, Memphis scored 77 points vs. Bowling Green, the second-most points in a game in school history. It was the sixth time in program history Memphis scored 70 or more points in a game. The 74-point margin of victory is the largest in the modern era (since World War II) of Memphis football. u The 77 points are tied for the second most scored in an FBS vs. FBS game this season. Michigan beat Rutgers 78-0 while Missouri scored the most points in a game this season, beating Delaware State (FCS), 79-0. u
Academic All-Americans
Seniors Jake Elliott and Daniel Montiel were named CoSIDA Academic All-America honorees. Elliott earned first team honors, while Montiel earned second team honors. u The two seniors are the fifth and sixth different Tigers to earn Academic All-America distinctions and it marks just the second time in program history the team had two honorees in a single class. u Elliott was voted the first team honoree at place-kicker to earn his first career Academic All-America honor. On track to graduate in May, Elliott has a 3.86 GPA in marketing management. He becomes just the second Tiger in program history to earn first team Academic All-America honors from CoSIDA. Defensive lineman Pat Jansen was also a first-team honoree in 1992. u Montiel, who was an academic all-district honoree last year, also received his first Academic All-America honor. The senior tight end already has his undergraduate degree in hand, completing his bachelor’s degree in accounting last spring. He is currently working to complete his master’s degree in liberal studies and will finish that program in May of 2017. u

Redshirt freshman Tony Pollard was named the conference’s Special Teams Player of the Year and also garnered allleague first team honors. Other first team selections were Genard Avery, Jake Elliott, Daniel Montiel and Spencer Smith. Anthony Miller was a second team pick. u The five All-American Athletic Conference first team selections were one behind the six first teamers in 2014. Also, since joining The American, the overall six postseason honorees are second behind the 10 chosen in 2014. u Pollard is the fourth-straight Tiger to receive the league’s Special Teams Player of the Year honor, as Tom Hornsey earned the award in 2013 and Elliott did in 2014 and 2015. u Avery is the second Tigers linebacker in the last three seasons to earn All-American Athletic Conference first team honors (Tank Jakes, 2014). He also is only the fourth Tigers linebacker to be an all-league first team pick since 2000 (Kamal Shakir, 2000; Jamon Hughes, 2010; Jakes, 2014). u Elliott is the first player in American Athletic Conference history to earn all-league first team honors all four seasons. u Montiel is the second Tigers tight end in the last three seasons to garner All-American Athletic Conference first team accolades (Alan Cross, 2014). u Smith received his second all-league first team nod (2015, 2016) and his overall third all-conference recognition (second team in 2014). u The 2016 American Athletic Conference second team honor is Miller’s first postseason accolade. Miller is the second Tigers wide receiver in the last three seasons to earn all-league honors (Keiwone Malone, 2014). Miller put together the best season for a Tigers wide receiver in school history in 2016. u

Memphis had two in 1983 when Jerry Harris (vs. Southern Miss) and Charles Greenhill (vs. Cincinnati) both had kickoff returns for TD. u Darrell Henderson became the most recent Tiger to return a kickoff for a TD with his 99-yard return at SMU Nov. 5. u With his 100-yard kick return vs. Navy, Pollard became the first player in program history to have two kick returns for TD in both a season and a career. His kick return average of 44.3 yards set a Memphis single-game record. u The 100-yard kickoff return for a TD is the longest in school history. The previous longest kick return in school history was 98 yards (TD) by Jerry Harris vs. Southern Miss in 1983 (Oct. 15, 1983). u The return was the second 100-yard play in program history. The first 100-yard play was a 100-yard INT return by Idrees Bashir vs. Army in 2000. u Pollard’s first TD return of the season was from 95 yards in the fourth quarter vs. Temple. The return was the first since Nov. 9, 1996. The score gave Memphis a 34-20 lead with 6:35 left to play. u Before this season, the last time Memphis returned a kickoff for a TD was against Tennessee in the Tigers’ 21-17 upset victory over the No. 6 nationally-ranked Volunteers and QB Peyton Manning. Kevin Cobb returned that 1996 kickoff 95 yards for the score. The play earned Cobb an ESPN ESPY Award. u

The Memphis roster features several players who are following in the footsteps of their fathers by playing football at the University of Memphis. u Senior RB Sam Craft has made his mark as a versatile four-year player with more than 1,500 career all-purpose yards. His father, Ray Craft, was also a standout from 1986-88 playing a part in wins over Ole Miss, 15th-ranked Alabama and 14th-ranked Florida. Ray now serves as a colonel with University of Memphis Police Services. u Redshirt freshman OL Scottie Dill made his first appearance for the Tigers this season, and in doing so carried on his father’s legacy on the Tigers’ offensive line. Scott Dill suited up for Memphis State from 1984-87 before becoming an NFL ninth-round draft pick by the Phoenix Cardinals in 1988. He played a decade in the NFL with Phoenix, Tampa Bay and Minnesota, before retiring after the 1997 season. u Also stepping on the field for the first time this fall was redshirt freshman LB Hayden Ferrari. His father, Tommy Ferrari, played for the Tigers from 1988-90. u For redshirt junior TE Robby Young and freshman OL Ryan Young, their father suited up for a different sport. Shane Young played on some of the best baseball squads in school history from 1981-84. Over those four seasons, the Tigers went 139-48, played in four-straight Metro Conference Tournaments and made one NCAA Tournament appearance. u

Bowl History
The Tigers have seemed to step up their game when the lights are brightest and the stage is the biggest. That includes when the team plays in front of a national television audience. u Memphis’ regular-season finale against No. 18/21 Houston on Black Friday was broadcast on ABC. The Tigers knocked off the Cougars 48-44 at the Liberty Bowl, giving Memphis back-to-back seasons with a home win on national television. u The Tigers made a national TV appearance at the Liberty Bowl in 2015, hosting Ole Miss on ABC. Memphis took down the Rebels 37-24 in front of 60,241 fans. It marked the first time a Memphis game has been broadcast by an over-the-air network since the 21-17 win over then No. 6 Tennessee on Nov. 9, 1996 (CBS). u Prior to the Ole Miss game last year, Memphis had not played a game on ABC since a 24-3 loss to No. 5 Florida State in the Liberty Bowl on Oct. 25, 1980. The Tigers’ 1967 game against Florida State was also broadcast by ABC. u For the second-consecutive season, Memphis was featured on ESPN as the Thursday Game of the Week (defeated Temple, 34-27). Last year at the Liberty Bowl, Memphis beat Cincinnati 53-46 in front of a crowd of 45,172. u Including the 2014 Miami Beach Bowl, Memphis has been featured on a national broadcast in each of the last three seasons. u Prior to the 2014 Miami Beach Bowl on ESPN, the Tigers had not been televised on the network’s flagship station since the 2009 season opener vs. Ole Miss. u

Memphis recognized 20 seniors prior to the regular-season finale vs. Houston Nov. 25: DBs Deandre Jordan, Chauncey Lanier, Arthur Maulet, Chris Morley, Dontrell Nelson, Tye Northern, Jahmahl Pardner, B.J. Ross; LB Lenard Harden; DLs Latarius Brady, Donald Pennington, DeMarco Montgomery; OL Christopher Roberson; LS Trevor Morgan; TE Daniel Montiel; WRs Daniel Hurd, Drew Bishop; RB Tearris Wallace; PK Jake Elliott; and QB Jason Stewart. u When Senior Day is on the final weekend of the regular season, the Tigers have been quite successful in the 2000s. Memphis improved to 7-3 when its Senior Day has fallen on the regular season’s final day since the 2000 campaign. u The Tigers’ success rate has gone up in recent seasons, as they are 7-1 when their Senior Day game is on the final weekend since 2005.

Victories Against
the
Power Five
With its win at Kansas last season, Memphis defeated a school from a Power 5 conference for the first time since a 20-13 win at Ole Miss to start the 2004 season. u The victory snapped a 19-game losing streak to P5 schools, including 10 straight on the road. u The 55 points vs. Kansas were the most in a win over a Power 5 conference team since 1998 when the Bowl Championship Series was formed. u Memphis followed up the Kansas win by beating No. 13 Ole Miss for the first win over a nationally-ranked opponent since beating No. 6 Tennessee in 1996. Prior to 2015, the last time the Tigers had defeated multiple P5 opponents in the same season was also 1996. u Memphis is 1-1 this season against the P5 with its 43-7 win over Kansas and the loss at Ole Miss. u
No Place Like Home Memphis started the season with three straight home games for the first time since 1971 and only the third time in the modern era of Memphis football (since World War II). The 1950 Tigers played three-straight home contests to open that season, and the 1971 Memphis squad played its first four games at the Liberty Bowl. u Although the game at Ole Miss was the first road trip of the season, the Tigers didn’t have to leave the Mid-South area. Memphis made the approximately 70-mile drive to Oxford on the day of the game. u The Tigers’ first trip outside of the Mid-South was to New Orleans, La., to take on Tulane Oct. 14. u In all, Memphis played its first five games in the Mid-South and left the area just four times during the regular season for trips to Tulane, Navy, SMU and Cincinnati. u The home cooking has been kind to Memphis. The Tigers went 5-2 at home this season and are 20-12 at the Liberty Bowl over the last five seasons. u

Ferguson has thrown for 3,326 passing yards and 28 TD passes, which are both second to Paxton Lynch’s 2015 season. u Ferguson was 30-of-45 passing for 409 yards and four TD vs. Houston Nov. 25. The game was his sixth passing performance of more than 300 yards in 2016. Only three other Memphis passers posted six or more 300-yard games – Paxton Lynch (10), Danny Wimprine (8) and Martin Hankins (7). The 400-yard passing performance was only the fourth in school history. u Ferguson only played in the first half vs. Bowling Green on Sept. 24 but still managed to have a record-setting day. He was 20-of-27 passing for 359 yards and six TD. The 359 yards are the 12th-most for a single game in school history (and he only played a half). The six TD tosses are the second-most for a single game in program history. u Ferguson accounted for seven TD (6 passing/1 rushing), which tied the school single-game mark.

Senior DB Arthur Maulet has been a captain in 10 of the Tigers’ 12 games this season. u Maulet is among the national leaders with 13 PBU this season, which is tied for 10th nationally. His four PBU Nov. 25 vs. Houston were a career high and tied for the second-most by a player in a single game this season. u Maulet recorded his fourth career INT with a pick in the fourth quarter vs. Ole Miss. The INT in the end zone prevented the Rebels from scoring and set up a TD drive by the Tigers. He finished with five tackles and a PBU. u The senior had his first INT of the season against SEMO. Maulet returned the INT 18 yards to the SEMO 12 which set up a Memphis TD drive to give the Tigers a 22-0 lead. Maulet also had a career-high three PBU in the opener. u Maulet forced a fumble for the first time in his career, halting a drive against Temple. u Last season, Maulet played in 13 games (eight starts) and had 38 tackles, seven PBU, two INT and one fumble recovery. u

Historic Elliott Kicks
Jake Elliott booted a 54-yard field goal at the end of the first overtime period of the inaugural Miami Beach Bowl in 2014 to send the game to a second OT stanza and an eventual Memphis win. Elliott’s kick is the longest field goal in an overtime period in FBS history. u The 54-yard field goal against BYU in Miami is the fourth-longest field goal in NCAA bowl history and the longest since 2004. u The field goal in Miami was the second-longest field goal in Memphis history and tied for the fifth-longest field goal of the 2014 FBS season. u Also in 2014, Elliott kicked a 31-yard field goal as time expire to lift the Tigers to a 16-13 win over Temple. With the victory, Memphis became bowl eligible for the first time since 2008. u Elliott set the Memphis school record for the longest field goal with a 56-yarder his freshman year (2013) at USF. The kick at the end of the first half hit the cross bar, went back up into the air and was true for a 6-0 Memphis halftime lead. u Early in 2015, Elliott booted what proved to be the game-winning field goal with 7:35 to play, drilling a 29-yard kick, to give the Tigers a 44-41 lead at Bowling Green. u Elliott converted on all three field goal attempts, including a 52-yarder that got the game back to a one-possession contest early in the third quarter vs. Bowling Green. u Currently, Elliott has made 9-of-13 career field goals of 50+ yards, including his latest, a 50-yarder against Tulane. u

Spencer Smith received his second consecutive all-league first team nod in 2016 and his overall third all-conference recognition after being named second team in 2014. u Smith has punted 44 times this season for an American Athletic Conference-leading average of 45.2 yards per punt. His average is the seventh-best in the NCAA this season. u Smith booted a 63-yard punt in the second quarter vs. Tulane. The punt was the second-longest of Smith’s career. His career-long was a 72-yard punt vs. Cincinnati last season. u Smith’s 53.7 yards per punt average on three punts vs. Temple set a Memphis single-game record (for two or more punts). u Against Kansas this season, Smith posted a 51.3 yards per punt average, which was the 11th best single-game mark in school history. He had a long punt of 59 yards during the contest. u This season, Smith has 13 punts of 50 yards or longer and has pinned 11 punts inside the opponents’ 20-yard line. u In 2015 Smith averaged 47.3 yards per punt, which if he met the minimum of 3.6 punts per game, would have ranked fifth nationally in 2015. With 43 punts in 13 games, Smith was just shy of the NCAA minimum (his 43 punts in 13 games was 3.3/game). u

Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium The University of Memphis football program is fortunate to have one of the finest facilities in the nation in which to play its home games. Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium, “built by the citizens of Memphis,” is a memorial to the veterans of World War I, World War II and the Korean War. The renovated 56,862-seat facility, built in 1965 at a cost of $3.7 million by the city of Memphis, is operated by the Memphis Park Services Department. The Tigers inaugurated the stadium in the fall of 1965 and in 50 years have compiled a 158-142-7 record in the Liberty Bowl. The stadium features an AstroTurf® playing surface, spacious locker rooms and a four-level press box, which features a VIP stadium club. The playing surface, which had been natural grass through the 2004 season, was replaced with a FieldTurf surface prior to the 2005 campaign. For the 2012 season, the surface changed to AstroTurf®, a surface used in several FBS collegiate and NFL stadiums. The field surface upgrade was part of major renovations to the stadium for 2012. The centerpiece of the 2012 renovations at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium was a $2.5 million video scoreboard and sound system. A generous donation provided by FedEx to the UofM paved the way for the video board/sound system upgrades. The south end zone features a 98x48-foot, stateof-the-art video board with a sound system located on the sides of the structure. The speakers and cap/or crown of the scoreboard makes the structure’s actual size grow to 106 feet by 58 feet. In 2012, the north end zone was updated with an LED board that is 38x10 feet in size. In addition to the $850,000 FieldTurf playing surface for the 2005 season, the Liberty Bowl underwent several aesthetic changes the last six years (2005-11) that made the stadium look more like the “Home of the Tigers.” Prior to the start of the 2006 season, Jim McDonald of McDonald Outdoor provided several large photo wraps on the walls of the stadium’s entrances to welcome Tigers fans. Graphics wraps were unveiled around the stadium’s interior in 2008, and a face-lift project for the stadium’s restrooms on the lower concourse was completed prior to the start of the season. A major renovation project took place at the Liberty Bowl prior to the start of the 2009 season when the Tigers and visitors’ locker rooms both underwent makeovers. The most notable change was the separation of the two locker rooms in the north tunnel. The Tigers’ locker room remained in the north tunnel, while the visitors’ locker room moved to the stadium’s south tunnel. Renovations in both 2009 and 2013 have brought the stadium into compliance with ADA specifications. The two separate renovations lowered the stadium’s
capacity from 62,380 to 59,308. The new chairbacks this season have dropped capacity to 56,862. In the spring of 2010, the Memphis City Council approved a $15.7 million capital improvements budget to upgrade the grounds surrounding the Liberty Bowl. Included in the renovations was the construction of a grand entrance off East Parkway which City Council approved naming “Tiger Lane” in honor of the facility’s longest tenant — the University of Memphis. “Tiger Lane” officially opened Sept. 18, 2010, when Memphis hosted Middle Tennessee. Prior to the recent upgrades in the 2000s, the previous major renovation came in 1987 to a tune of $19.5 million. Included in the 1987 face lift was the addition of the sky-suites located on the east side of the stadium, approximately 12,000 seats in the stands and a stadium club to accommodate donors. Other areas of the stadium also were vastly improved, (including: lighting system, playing surface, handicap seating area, concession stands and restroom facilities). In December of 1983, city of Memphis officials named the playing surface Rex Dockery Field in honor of the late Tigers coach who was killed in a plane crash. During the 2013 season, the University honored Dockery with a field re-dedication ceremony. In attendance were the families of the four individuals who lost their lives as a commemorative plaque was unveiled honoring those individuals at the Tiger Lane entrance to the stadium. This season, 2016, marks the debut of chair-back seating along both sidelines at the Liberty Bowl, along with upgrades in lighting, the scoreboard and the adjacent Pipkin Building, helping to improve the game day experience for Tiger fans. Throughout the 50-year history, several professional teams have called the Liberty Bowl home. In 1974, the Grizzlies of the World Football League played their only season in Memphis. From 197880, the stadium hosted the Memphis Rogues of the North American Soccer League, and later in 1984-85, the Showboats of the U.S. Football League (USFL). Three other professional football organizations spent one season in the Liberty Bowl, including the XFL’s Memphis Maniax (2001), the NFL’s Tennessee Oilers (1997) and the CFL’s Memphis Mad Dogs (1995). The largest crowd to witness a Tigers game at the Liberty Bowl was the record-setting 65,885 that attended Memphis’ 1996 stunning upset of No. 6 Tennessee. The Tigers defeated the Vols 21-17 before a CBS Sports regionally-televised audience. The entire nation, however, saw Memphis’ game-winning drive when CBS carried the final five minutes nationally. In 2015, Memphis set a new single-season home attendance record with an average of 43,802.

Liberty bowl Memorial Stadium September 3, 2016
A beautiful afternoon of tailgating. A raucous crowd of over 42,000 at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium. And, a win! A pretty nice start to the Mike Norvell era in Tigers football history. Tigers quarterback Riley Ferguson threw for nearly 300 yards and three scores and wide receiver Anthony Miller had over 100 yards receiving to lift the University of Memphis football squad to a season-opening 35-17 victory over Southeast Missouri in Norvell’s collegiate head coaching debut. The win came in front of 42,876 at the Liberty Bowl, the overall 10th-largest, season-opening crowd
and the third-largest, non-Southeastern Conference season-opening attendance in school history. Memphis jumped out to a 29-0 lead and was never really threatened in its third-straight season-opening victory. Southeast Missouri scored a field goal before halftime and added two touchdowns in the second half. In his Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) debut, Ferguson was 26-of-40 passing for 295 yards and three touchdowns. Miller grabbed nine of Ferguson’s 26 completions for 103 yards and his fifth career 100yard receiving game. Patrick Taylor Jr. was the Tigers’ leading rusher with 86 yards on seven carries. Defensively, junior transfer Jonathan Cook led Memphis with eight total stops, including seven solo hits. Senior defensive back Arthur Maulet picked off his third career pass and had a career-high three pass break-ups. A mark of a Norvell-coached team is few mistakes and that was seen in the opener. The Tigers had only four penalties for 40 yards, but did have three turnovers (one fumble/two interceptions). In his four seasons at Arizona State, the Sun Devils ranked among the nation’s top-15 in fewest penalty yardage. The Norvell era got off to a roaring start as Memphis jumped out to a 29-0 first-half lead. Doroland Dorceus (rush TD/receive TD) and Darrell Henderson (two receive TD) accounted for all of the Tigers’ touchdowns in the opening half. After the first score, Memphis successfully converted its first passing twopoint conversion since 2007 for an 8-0 lead just 2:17 into the contest. Southeast Missouri got on the scoreboard just before halftime when Ryan McCrum connected on a 26-yard field goal to cut the Memphis lead to 29-3. Two Jake Elliott field goals were the Tigers’ only scoring after halftime. Elliott hit on field goals from 45 and 40 yards. Southeast Missouri added two second-half touchdowns for the 35-17 final.
T op -5 T igers T idbits • Memphis opened the Mike Norvell era with a 35-17 win over Southeast Missouri. Norvell is the 24th head coach in Tigers football history. • A Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium crowd of 42,876 watched the Tigers’ 2016 season/home opener and head coach Mike Norvell’s debut. It is the 10th-largest season-opening crowd and the third-largest non-Southeastern Conference attendance for a season opener in school history. The top-seven home/season-opening crowds all came in games vs. Ole Miss. Only the 1990 Arkansas State and 2013 Duke season openers drew larger crowds for a nonSEC opponent. • Mike Norvell is the first Tigers head coach to win his debut since Rey Dempsey did so in 1984. Memphis defeated Arkansas State 17-2 in Dempsey’s debut on Sept. 1, 1984. Overall, Norvell is only the third head coach in Tigers football history to win his debut. • The Tigers scored 35 points in Mike Norvell’s head coach debut. The 35 points are the most scored in a head coach debut in the modern era of Tigers football (since World War II). The previous high in a Tigers head coach debut was 29 points by Fred Pancoast’s 1972 squad (29 points vs. Ole Miss in a 34-29 loss). • Doroland Dorceus had a multiple-TD game – one rushing, one receiving vs. Southeast Missouri – for the third-straight season opener. He had two rushing TD in each of the last two season openers

So much for a University of Memphis football letdown after the early-season bye date last week. The Memphis rushing attack pounded out 205 yards, and the Tigers defense had six takeaways to lift the home team to a 43-7 non-conference victory over Kansas, before of crowd of 34,448 at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium. The six takeaways were the most by Memphis since 2011 when it also forced six turnovers versus Marshall. With the win, Memphis improved to 2-0 for a second-straight season. The last time the Tigers began back-to-back campaigns with 2-0 records was in 2003 and 2004. The Jayhawks fell to 1-2. Tigers freshman Patrick Taylor Jr. led the ground game for a second-straight game, this time rushing for 88 yards on 13 carries. He had a team-high 86 yards in the Sept. 3 season opener. Quarterback Riley
• With the Tigers’ 43-7 victory over Kansas, Mike Norvell became only the first first-year head coach in the modern era of Memphis football (since World War II) to win his first two games. In all of Memphis football history, Norvell is the second first-year head coach to win his first two games. The last Tigers first-year head coach to win his first two games was Tom Shea in the 1916 campaign.

Game Notes
Kansas Memphis
Ferguson was 15-of-24 passing for 189 yards and two scores. Anthony Miller led the receiving corps with five receptions for 93 yards and one touchdown. The Tigers jumped out to an early 19-0 lead and never let up. Memphis’ first score came on its second possession of the game when Ferguson hit Miller for an 84-yard touchdown to give the home team a 7-0 lead. The play is tied for the sixth-longest reception in Tigers football history and also is Miller’s career-long catch. After grabbing the 7-0 advantage, the Tigers defense took over. On Kansas’ next three possessions, the Memphis defense recorded two takeaways and forced a 3-andout. The Jayhawks’ first turnover was a fumble at their own 32-yard line that Michael Edwards recovered for the Tigers. Memphis converted that turnover into the first of three Jake Elliott field goals, a 41-yarder for a 10-0 lead. Edwards had a second fumble recovery in the second quarter. Kansas took its next possession deep into Memphis territory, but Jayhawks quarterback Ryan Willis coughed up the ball. Tigers cornerback Jonathan Cook picked up the loose ball and rambled 50 yards to the Kansas 29. Cook’s 50-yard fumble return is the ninth-longest in school history. Four plays later, Elliott kicked a 42-yard field goal for a 13-0 advantage. In the second quarter, Doroland Dorceus scored on a tough six-yard run for a 19-0 Memphis lead. The Jayhawks immediately answered with their lone touchdown of the contest. Kansas moved the ball to its own 34 where Khalil Herbert burst through the line and rushed 66 yards for the score. Memphis added two more touchdowns before halftime to take a 33-7 lead into the locker room. Ferguson tossed his second touchdown of the game, this time a six-yard pass to Phil Mayhue. Then, the Tigers defense got in the scoring column when freshman defensive lineman Jonathan Wilson picked off a Montell Cozart pass and ran it back 61 yards for the score. After halftime, the Tigers added an Elliott 50-yard field goal and a Tony Pollard eight-yard touchdown run for their final points. It was Elliott’s ninth career field goal of 50 yards or more.

Sometimes it’s just your day – or in this case – night. Junior college transfer quarterback Riley Ferguson passed for 359 yards and six touchdowns and also ran for another score in the first half only to lift the University of Memphis football team to a 77-3 win over Bowling Green. The Tigers’ largest margin of victory in the program’s modern era (since World War II) came in front of a crowd of 38,713 at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium. The 77 points are the most scored and the 74-point margin of victory is the largest in the modern era of the program. The 11 touchdowns scored tied a school single-game record, and the Tigers’ 635 yards of total offense is the fourth-most for a game in program history. In all, 11 different Tigers scored, and the 11 touch-
downs tied a school single-game record. Senior kicker Jake Elliott converted a school-record 11 PAT (11-of11), and Ferguson accounted for seven touchdowns, which also tied a program single-game mark. The Tigers defense picked off four Falcons’ passes, and Memphis scored touchdowns on all four miscues. One of the interceptions was a Genard Avery 28-yard return for a score. The pick was the first of his career. Doroland Dorceus rushed for 117 yards on nine carries and one touchdown. The 117-yard performance was the third 100-yard rushing game of his career. Dorceus led a rushing attack that piled up 240 yards. Ferguson and Jason Stewart, who played the entire second half, spread the ball around to 12 different receivers. Tony Pollard hauled in a team-high four catches for 57 yards and one score. Pollard’s touchdown reception was the first of his career. Anthony Miller had a team-best 77 receiving yards on three catches, including a 60-yard scoring strike from Ferguson in the second quarter. The Tigers got on the board first and capped a seven-play, 66-yard drive with a Ferguson-to-Daniel Montiel 19-yard touchdown toss. The score came 1:59 into the contest. Bowling Green scored its lone points on the ensuing drive. A Jake Suder 30-yard field goal wrapped up the 62-yard drive. The Falcons’ field goal was the first points Memphis surrendered in the first quarter this season. The Tigers scored four more touchdowns in the first quarter to take a commanding 35-3 advantage. The 35 points tied the school record for scoring in a quarter. Memphis also scored 35 points in the first quarter in a 62-20 win over Tulane in 1992. Ferguson added two more touchdown tosses in the second quarter and also ran in a score from one yard out. The rushing touchdown was Ferguson’s first as a Tiger. In the second half, Memphis scored all three touchdowns on short runs by Dorceus, Patrick Taylor Jr. and Stewart. Chris Morley, who had one of the Tigers’ four interceptions, led the defense with six total stops. Avery and Shareef White each added four hits.
T op -5 T igers T idbits • With the Tigers’ 77-3 victory over Bowling Green, Mike Norvell became the only first-year head coach in Memphis football history to win his first three games. Norvell is one of three first-year head coaches at the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) level still undefeated (3-0 record). The other two FBS first-year head coaches also with unbeaten marks are Maryland’s D.J. Durkin (3-0) and Toledo’s Jason Candle (3-0). • With the win, Memphis started 2016 with a 3-0 record. It is the second-straight season the Tigers started 3-0. It is the first time in program history Memphis has had back-toback 3-0 starts. • Memphis scored 77 points vs. Bowling Green, the second-most points in a game in school history. It is the sixth time in program history Memphis scored 70 or more points in a game. The most points in school history were 115 points in a 115-0 victory over Somerville High in the 1916 campaign (Oct. 14, 1916). • The 74-point margin of victory is the largest in the modern era (since World War II) of Memphis football. The previous largest margin of victory was 69 points in a 76-7 victory over Memphis Navy in the 1950 campaign (Sept. 30, 1950). • The contest featured a match-up of FBS first-year head coaches in Memphis’ Mike Norvell and Bowling Green’s Mike Jinks.

Many times the team that wins the turnover battle also wins the game. For the first time in three weeks, the University of Memphis football squad lost the takeaway fight and also dropped a 48-28 decision to No. 16/17 Ole Miss at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium Saturday. The Rebels had a +3 turnover advantage with three interceptions and one fumble recovery. Memphis’ lone takeaway was Arthur Maulet’s interception in the fourth quarter. Quarterback Riley Ferguson was 30-of-46 passing for 343 yards and three interceptions. His completions (30; T11th), attempts (46; T13th) and yards (343; T20th) all are in the top-20 for a game in program history. Ferguson also ran for two scores, the first multiple-rushing touchdown game of his career. Anthony Miller was Ferguson’s favorite target.
• A crowd of 65,889 attended the Memphis-Ole Miss game at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium. The second-highest attendance in Ole Miss history.

Game Notes
memphis #16/17 Ole Miss
Miller hauled in 10 passes for 132 yards. It was his fifth career 100-yard receiving game and his second this season. The 10 catches tied a career high for Miller, who also ran for a touchdown. Phil Mayhue had six receptions for 69 yards. With his first catch in the first quarter, Mayhue extended his consecutive-game-with-a-reception streak to 20 straight. Doroland Dorceus led the Tigers ground attack with 72 yards on 14 carries and one touchdown. The past two weeks, Memphis played error-free football, with no miscues and 10 takeaways (6 interceptions/4 fumble recoveries). But, that was not the case in this game. Ole Miss took advantage, scoring 14 points off the Tigers’ miscues. A Tigers’ first-quarter interception was returned for a score to increase the Rebels’ lead to 14-0. Then, late in the second quarter, a Memphis fumble turned into another touchdown before halftime. After the intermission, the Tigers came out with some fire. An Ole Miss field goal increased the Rebels’ lead to 27-7, but Memphis responded with a little special teams help. The Tigers began their first drive of the second half on their own 25, and after four plays gained only two yards, Memphis was forced to punt. Or so it seemed. The Tigers pulled a fake punt with punter Spencer Smith connecting with Maulet for a 12-yard pass play to keep the drive going. Three plays later, Dorceus scored from two yards out to slice the Ole Miss lead to 27-14. The Memphis defense then did its part, halting a Rebels’ drive at midfield. The Ole Miss special teams, though, pinned the Tigers at the 1-yard line. The Tigers did not flinch. Ferguson drove the offense 99 yards in 13 plays that culminated in a oneyard scoring run from the Memphis signal caller. The touchdown cut the Rebels’ lead to 27-21. That was the closest Memphis got the rest of the game. Ole Miss converted two Tigers’ special teams mistakes – kickoff out-of-bounds, short punt – into touchdowns to extend its lead back to 20 points at 41-21 early in the fourth quarter. Genard Avery and Jonathan Cook each had nine total tackles to lead the Memphis defense. Cook also added two pass break-ups. Maulet had five total stops and one pass break-up to go with his fourth-quarter interception.

Liberty bowl Memorial stadium October 6, 2014
Talk about a tale of two halves. After nearly being shutout in the first half, the University of Memphis football team exploded for 24 unanswered points after intermission to post a 34-27 win over Temple before a crowd of 34,743 at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium and an ESPN national audience. The contest was the Tigers’ American Athletic Conference opener. The win improved Memphis’ record to 4-1 overall and 1-0 in The American. Temple fell to 3-3 overall and 1-1 in the league. The Tigers won their conference opener for a third-straight season. It is the first time in the modern era of Memphis football (since World War II) that the program won three-straight conference openers. Junior running back Doroland Dorceus rushed for 93 yards on seven carries and one touchdown. Freshman running back Darrell Henderson also rushed for a 28-yard score in the fourth quarter, his first career
rushing touchdown. Senior kicker Jake Elliott set the program’s scoring record after Henderson’s touchdown with his 370th career point. He added another PAT after Tony Pollard’s 95-yard kickoff return for a score to give him 371 career points. Elliott moved past DeAngelo Williams (362 points) and Stephen Gostkowski (369) to take over the top spot. Down 13-3 at the break, Memphis blew up in the final five minutes of the third quarter and scored 17-straight points to take a 20-13 lead. After an Elliott field goal cut the Owls’ lead to 13-6, Dorceus rumbled 71 yards for a touchdown to tie the game at 13-all. Then, 51 seconds later, the Memphis defense got into the scoring column when Genard Avery picked off a Phillip Walker pass that was tipped by teammate Shareef White. Avery returned the interception 23 yards to put the Tigers ahead 20-13. It was the third game this season that the Tigers defense scored points in a game. The Tigers continued their scoring onslaught early in the fourth quarter with Henderson’s 28-yard scamper for a 27-13 lead. Before the Henderson score, it looked as if Temple would close the gap to 20-16 early in the fourth quarter. The Owls, though, missed a 29yard field goal, and Memphis started its next drive on the 20-yard line. Five plays later, Memphis increased its lead to 27-13 on Henderson’s first career rushing score. Temple answered with a touchdown to pull to within seven at 27-20 with 6:47 left. Memphis, though, had an even bigger response. On the ensuing kickoff, Tony Pollard pulled off something that Tiger Nation had not seen in 20 years. The redshirt freshman took the kickoff and broke away for a 95-yard return to give the Tigers another 14-point cushion at 34-20. It was the program’s first kickoff return for a touchdown since Kevin Cobb took one back 95 yards against in-state rival Tennessee on Nov. 9, 1996. That day, Memphis used Cobb’s kick return for the touchdown to propel the Tigers to a 2117 upset victory over the No. 6 Volunteers and Peyton Manning. Pollard’s 95-yard kickoff return is tied for the fourth-longest in program history. The Owls again answered with another touchdown to cut the Memphis advantage to 34-27 with 3:49 on the clock. On its next possession, Memphis ran off 2:53 and punted, giving the Owls one final opportunity with under a minute to play. Temple moved into Memphis territory at the Tigers 46-yard line, but on 1st-and-10, Phillip Walker’s pass was picked off by Chauncey Lanier with :18 left to seal the victory. Avery led the Memphis defense with nine total tackles. Austin Hall had eight stops.
T op -5 T igers T idbits • Memphis won its conference opener for a thirdstraight season. It is also the second-straight conference home-opening victory for the Tigers. Memphis won threestraight conference openers for the first time in program history. • RB Tony Pollard’s 95-yard kick return for TD was the Tigers’ first since Nov. 9, 1996. The last time Memphis returned a kickoff for a TD was against Tennessee in the Tigers’ 21-17 upset victory over the No. 6 nationally-ranked Volunteers and QB Peyton Manning. Kevin Cobb returned that 1996 kickoff 95 yards for the score. • PK Jake Elliott set the school’s all-time record for scoring vs. Temple. His 10 points (4 PAT/2 FG) gives him 371 for his career. In the game, Elliott moved past DeAngelo Williams (362 points) and Stephen Gostkowski (369). Elliott set the mark with his 370th point on a PAT in the fourth quarter following Darrell Henderson’s 28-yard TD scamper. • With DB Arthur Maulet’s caused fumble and LB Darian Porter’s fumble recovery in the second quarter, the Tigers have at least one takeaway in each game this season. • LB Genard Avery’s interception return for a touchdown is the third time this season the Tigers defense scored a touchdown (vs. Kansas, Bowling Green, Temple).

2016 review
University of Memphis freshman Darrell Henderson accounted for two touchdowns, and the Tigers defense held the Tulane rushing attack in check to lift the visitors from the Bluff City to a 24-14 American Athletic Conference victory. The win improved the Tigers’ record to 5-1 overall and 2-0 in the league. Memphis is off to its second-straight 2-0 start in conference play. The Tigers also began their 2015 league schedule with a 2-0 mark. It is the first time Memphis started conference play with 2-0 records in consecutive seasons since 1968 and 1969. The Green Wave fell to 3-3 overall and 0-2 in the conference. For the second-straight week, the Memphis offense looked out-of-sync in the first half and wasn’t able to capitalize on the Green Wave’s miscues. The Tigers recovered an onside kick following Jake Elliott’s first field goal and also picked up Tulane fumbles on two punt returns, but only managed three points from those Green Wave mistakes. Elliott connected on a 21-yard field goal following the Green Wave’s
• Memphis is 2-0 to start American Athletic Conference play for the second-straight season. It is the first time the Tigers started 2-0 in league play in consecutive seasons since 1968 and 1969 (Missouri Valley Conference).

second muffed punt return. The Tigers offense, though, got going just before halftime. Following a Tulane punt, Memphis started on its own 35 with 2:54 left in the second period. After three Riley Ferguson completions moved the ball into Tulane territory, the Tigers quarterback hit Henderson out in the flat and the Batesville, Miss., native did the rest. Henderson took Ferguson’s screen pass and rumbled 46 yards for the score to give Memphis the lead for good at 13-7. The reception was a season-long for Henderson. But Henderson wasn’t done. After an Elliott 50yard field goal extended the Tigers’ lead to 16-7 late in the third period, Henderson put the contest out of reach in the fourth quarter. The Tigers defense forced a Green Wave 3-and-out and, following a Tulane punt, Memphis started its opening drive of the final period on its own 20. Three plays later, the Tigers were in Green Wave territory just across midfield. Then, it was time for some more Henderson magic. The 5-foot-9, 175-pound running back burst through the line and out-ran the Tulane defense to the end zone for a 22-7 lead. Sam Craft followed Henderson’s touchdown with a two-point conversion run and the Tigers held a 24-7 advantage with 11:52 to go. A Glen Cuiellette-to-Kendall Adroin 20-yard connection early in the second quarter gave Tulane its first and only lead of the contest at 7-3. Cuiellette’s two-yard touchdown plunge late capped the game’s scoring at 24-14. Henderson finished the game with season bests for rushing (75), receiving (67) and all-purpose (156) yards. Doroland Dorceus led the Memphis ground attack with 81 yards on seven carries. Riley Ferguson was 21-of-34 passing for 236 yards and one score. The Tigers defense kept Memphis within striking distance in the first half and clamped down on the Tulane offense after halftime. Memphis held the Green Wave to 313 total yards, including 169 on the ground. The Green Wave entered the game with the nation’s 16th-leading rushing offense at 246.6 yards per contest. Austin Hall paced the Memphis defense with season-highs for total tackles (12) and TFL (3). Curtis Akin had eight total stops, and Arthur Maulet recorded seven total tackles and one pass break-up. Ernest Suttles posted his first career pass break-up, and junior college transfer Jonathan Cook had his first career interception.

University of Memphis junior quarterback Riley Ferguson threw for over 300 yards for the third time this season and freshman Tony Pollard set a school record, but it wasn’t enough as the Tigers dropped a 42-28 decision to No. 24/25 Navy. With the setback, Memphis fell to 5-2 overall and 2-1 in the American Athletic Conference. The Midshipmen improved to 5-1 overall and remained perfect in league play at 4-0. Ferguson was 25-of-40 passing for 333 yards and two touchdowns. The 333 yards was his third-highest output of the season. The two-touchdown game was his fourth of 2016. Ferguson’s favorite target was Anthony Miller, who piled up a season-high 134 receiving yards on nine catches. Miller had one touchdown
reception. The 100-yard receiving game was his third of the season and sixth of his career. Pollard, who broke the Tigers’ 20-year drought of a kick return for a touchdown versus Temple Oct. 6, struck again against Navy in the first quarter. After the Mids tied the contest 7-7, Pollard took the kickoff and raced 100 yards for the score to put Memphis back in front 14-7. Pollard’s 100-yard kick return is the longest in program history, and his two kick returns for touchdowns are the most for a season and a career in school history. After that, the Navy rushing attack took control. The Mids, who had nearly 40 minutes of possession time in the contest, scored the game’s next three touchdowns to take a 28-14 lead early in the third quarter. The Tigers, though, did not go away. Ferguson engineered an 82-yard drive, capped by a nine-yard scoring toss to Daniel Hurd, to cut the Navy advantage to 28-21 with six minutes to go in the third quarter. Navy had an answer again. The Mids extended their lead back to two scores at 35-21 on Will Worth’s 18-yard strike to Tyler Carmona as time expired in the third quarter. Memphis responded with a 70-yard scoring drive that ended with a Patrick Taylor Jr. seven-yard touchdown run, cutting the Navy lead to 35-28. Memphis got a chance to tie the game when Navy missed a field goal attempt with 5:40 left. The Tigers were driving, but a turnover gave the ball back to the Mids with just over three minutes left. Navy scored its last touchdown, a Worth one-yard run, to take a 42-28 lead with 2:01 left and put the contest out of reach. Curtis Akins posted a career-high 16 tackles in his second start of the season. Chris Morley also had the highest tackling output of his career with 11 stops.
T op -5 T igers T idbits • Tony Pollard’s 100-yard kickoff return for a TD in the first quarter vs. Navy is longest in school history. The previous longest kick return in school history was 98 yards (TD) by Jerry Harris vs. Southern Miss in 1983 (Oct. 15, 1983). • With his 100-yard kick return vs. Navy, Tony Pollard became the first player in program history to have two kick returns for TD in both a season and a career. Pollard’s first kick return for a TD this season was a 95-yarder vs. Temple Oct. 6. That kick return for TD vs. the Owls ended a 20-year drought for Memphis. • WR Anthony Miller’s 134-yard receiving game vs. Navy was his third 100-yard receiving performance of the season and the sixth of his career. • WR Daniel Hurd set career highs for receptions (5) and receiving yards (78) vs. Navy. • LB Curtis Akins had a career-high 16 tackles (7 solo). His previous high was eight total tackles at Tulane Oct. 14. The seven solo stops also were a career high.

Some nights, things just don’t go your way. That was the case for the University of Memphis football team in its Homecoming game against Tulsa. Before a crowd of 36,984 at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium, the Tigers had four turnovers – which led to 21 Golden Hurricane points – and committed over 100 yards in penalties in a 59-30 American Athletic Conference loss to Tulsa. With the loss, Memphis fell to 5-3 overall and 2-2 in The American. The Golden Hurricane improved to 6-2 overall and 3-1 in the league. Tulsa moved into second place in The American West Division standings with the victory. In the setback, Anthony Miller had a record-setting game. He had 12 catches for 250 yards and two touchdowns. The 250 yards set a school record for receiving yards in a game, and the 12 receptions were the second-most for a game in program history. The 250 yards were the fifth-most for a Football Bowl
• WR Anthony Miller had a school-record and career-high 250 receiving yards vs. Tulsa. The 250 yards receiving are the second-most for a single game in American Athletic Conference history and also are the fifth-most for a single game at the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) level in 2016.

Subdivision (FBS) game in 2016, and also are the second-most for a game in American Athletic Conference history. Quarterback Riley Ferguson was 19-of-41 passing for 349 yards and three scores. It was Ferguson’s fourth 300-yard game and also his fifth multi-touchdown contest of 2016. The Tigers fell behind 14-0 early and was unable to catch up the entire contest. The Tigers, though, fought throughout and clawed to get back into the game. After Tulsa took a 14-0 lead, Memphis answered with a six-play, 65-yard drive that Darrell Henderson capped with a six-yard run to pull the Tigers to within seven at 14-7. The rushing score was Henderson’s third of the season. The Golden Hurricane went back up by 14 points at 21-7, but Memphis answered again. This time, the Tigers’ response came in explosive fashion when Ferguson hooked up with Miller on a 59-yard scoring strike with 11:23 left in the second quarter. It was Miller’s sixth 40-plus yard play of the season on which he scored a touchdown. Tulsa doubled up the Tigers again at 28-14. Memphis again had an answer. The Tigers drove 72 yards on seven plays and hit pay dirt when Ferguson found Kedarian Jones in the front corner of the end zone for the score. Jones’ first career touchdown pulled Memphis to within seven at 28-21. A Tulsa touchdown and a Jake Elliott field goal made the halftime score 35-24 in favor of the Golden Hurricane. Elliott’s 40-yard field goal gave him 71 for his career, which is a school record. Elliott entered the game tied with former standout Stephen Gostkowski with 70 career field goals. After intermission, Memphis struck first with a second Ferguson-to-Miller touchdown connection to cut the Tulsa lead to 35-30. But, that’s when the Tigers ran out of responses to Tulsa’s offensive output. A Golden Hurricane field goal extended their lead to 38-30 midway through the third quarter and that’s when Tulsa put the contest out of reach. Following a punt from Memphis’ end zone, the Golden Hurricane scored a touchdown courtesy of a short field for a 45-30 lead. Then, the turnover bug hit the Tigers. Memphis fumbled on its next two possessions, and Tulsa turned those miscues into touchdowns to extend its advantage to 59-30. Curtis Akins led the Memphis defense with 10 total tackles, including a career-best eight solo stops. It was the second-straight game Akins posted double-digit tackles.

51 7 Ford Stadium November 5, 2016
Who says you can’t go back home? It was SMU’s Homecoming game, but it was University of Memphis head coach Mike Norvell who celebrated a return to his hometown area. Norvell grew up in the Dallas suburb of Irving. The Tigers returned to playing their brand of football of turning opponents’ mistakes into points and posted an impressive 51-7 American Athletic Conference road win at SMU. With the victory, Memphis improved to 6-3 overall and 3-2 in league play. The win also made the Tigers bowl eligible for a third-straight season. It is only the second time in school history Memphis will play in three-consecutive bowl games (2003-05). The Mustangs fell to 4-5 overall and 2-3 in the conference. The Memphis defense played a superb game, holding the Mustangs to 100 fewer yards than their season average. The Tigers held SMU to 307 yards. The Mustangs entered the game averaging 417.1 yards of total offense per game. Tigers quarterback Riley Ferguson directed the of-
fense to 474 yards of total offense. Ferguson played a flawless game and completed 20-of-27 passes for 287 yards and four touchdowns with no interceptions. Anthony Miller had four receptions for 102 yards and two scores. The 102-yard receiving game was his fifth 100-yard performance of 2016. Doroland Dorceus led a Tigers rushing attack that piled up 160 yards on the ground. Dorceus had 77 of those 160 yards. The Tigers defense recorded three takeaways, after only having a total of two in the previous two games (both losses). The Memphis offense took advantage of those takeaways, scoring two touchdowns. The Tigers ran out the clock after their third takeaway late in the game. Memphis jumped out to an early lead and never looked back. After holding SMU to a 3-and-out on its first possession, the Tigers began their first drive on their own 19-yard line. Two plays later, Memphis was in the end zone on a Ferguson-to-Miller 50-yard scoring strike for a 7-0 lead. On the Mustangs’ next possession, the Tigers defense got going. SMU moved the ball into Memphis territory, but an Arthur Maulet sack and forced fumble was scooped up by Jared Gentry and returned inside the SMU 20. After a penalty moved the ball inside the Mustangs 10, the Tigers offense made quick work again. This time, Memphis’ two-play, six-yard drive ended with a Ferguson four-yard touchdown toss to Joey Magnifico for a 14-0 lead. Midway through the opening quarter, SMU answered with a 91-yard touchdown drive to cut the Memphis lead to 14-7 and get the Mustangs back in the game. The Tigers, though, had an immediate answer. On the ensuing kickoff, freshman Darrell Henderson took the ball at the Memphis 1-yard line and raced 99 yards for a score. After going 20 years without a kickoff return for a touchdown, Memphis set a school record for kick returns for scores with three in 2016. Earlier this season, Tony Pollard returned two kickoffs for touchdowns. Henderson’s touchdown pushed the Tigers lead back to 14 points at 21-7 and set the tone for the remainder of the contest. After a Jake Elliott field goal extended the lead to 24-7 early in the second quarter, the Memphis defense gained its second takeaway of the contest on SMU’s next possession. The Mustangs moved the ball to their own 35, but Genard Avery forced a second fumble that was recovered by Ernest Suttles. The Memphis offense wasted no time in putting another score on the board. On the first play from scrimmage, Ferguson hit Daniel Montiel on a 20-yard score for a commanding 31-7 lead. The Tigers closed the half with another Ferguson touchdown toss for a 38-7 lead at intermission. Ferguson hit Miller from 21 yards out for the touchdown. After half, Memphis added two Elliott field goals and a Dorceus touchdown run for the 51-7 final.
T op -5 T igers T idbits • With the win over SMU, Memphis is bowl eligible for a third-straight season. It is the second time in school history the Tigers will play in three-consecutive bowls. The first three-year bowl stretch was from 2003-05. • Mike Norvell is the first head coach in program history to lead Memphis to bowl eligibility in his first season at the helm. • Mike Norvell is the second first-year head coach to lead his team to bowl eligibility in 2016. Toledo’s Jason Candle was the first first-year head coach to lead his team to bowl eligibility this season. • Memphis held SMU to seven points in the 51-7 victory. It is the third opponent this season the Tigers defense held to fewer than 10 points (Kansas, 7 points; Bowling Green, 3 points). The three games holding opponents to fewer than 10 points are the most since the 1993 Tigers defense held five teams to under 10 points. The 1994 and 1997 Memphis defenses also held three foes to 10 or fewer points. • With his 15 points, PK Jake Elliott went over the 400-point mark for his career. He now has 406 points (184 PAT/74 FG). He set the school’s all-time scoring record earlier this season.

2016 review
In a back-and-forth offensive affair, USF outlasted the University of Memphis 49-42 in an American Athletic Conference showdown at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium. The football shootout was played before a crowd of 37,218 at the Liberty Bowl and a national ESPNU audience. The Tigers grabbed two leads in the third quarter at 24-21 and 31-28, but was unable to slow down the potent Bulls offense. In fact, neither defense stopped either offense, as the teams combined for 91 points and 1,287 yards of total offense. Both offenses also were protective of the ball with only one turnover that led to one touchdown in the contest. With the setback, Memphis fell to 6-4 overall and 3-3 in the American Athletic Conference. The Bulls improved to 8-2 overall and 5-1 in the league. USF is tied for The American East Division lead with Temple. The Tigers had a balanced attack with 287 yards on the ground and 331 through the air. The 287 rush-
• WR Anthony Miller set the school season record for receiving yards in the game. He now has 1,077 yards, breaking the previous mark of 1,054 by former standout Isaac Bruce in 1993. Miller also has 67 receptions, which are the fifth-most for a season in program history.

Game Notes
USF Memphis
ing yards were a season high, and quarterback Riley Ferguson recorded his fifth 300-yard passing performance of the season with 331 yards. In the loss, Anthony Miller set the program’s season record for receiving yards. He has 1,077 yards on 67 catches in 2016. Miller broke the mark set by Isaac Bruce in 1993 (1,054 yards). Miller’s 153-yard game was his fifth 100-yard performance of the season and the eighth of his career. Tigers tight end Daniel Montiel had a career game, posting career bests for receptions (10) and receiving yards (100). Memphis was down 42-34 midway through the fourth quarter, but struck quickly when Ferguson found Miller for a 57-yard scoring strike. The touchdown pulled the Tigers to within 42-40. The Tigers then went for the two-point conversion, and Ferguson hit Phil Mayhue to tie the score at 42-all. The Bulls came back with an immediate response. USF moved the ball 78 yards on 10 plays and capped the drive with a Quinton Flowers 22-yard scamper for a 49-42 lead with 1:46 on the clock. The Tigers got the ball back enough time to drive for a game-tying score. Memphis drove to the USF 3-yard line, where it had three chances to put the ball end zone. The Bulls defense, though, stepped up and knocked away the Tigers’ three pass attempts to seal the win. The explosive offense started quickly with two huge plays from the visiting Bulls and courtesy of Rodney Adams. First, Adams took a Flowers’ pass 49 yards to pay dirt for the game’s first score. Then, on USF’s third possession of the game, Adams ran around left end for a 92-yard touchdown run to give the Bulls a 14-0 lead. Memphis responded with the game’s next 10 points to cut the USF lead to 14-10. A Jake Elliott field goal put the Tigers on the board in the first quarter, and a Ferguson one-yard touchdown run capped a 13-play, 91-yard drive. The scoring drive took 4:00 off the clock and was Memphis’ fourth-longest of the season in terms of time of possession. The team traded touchdown scores before halftime, and USF took a 21-17 lead into intermission. After half, Memphis struck first on a Ferguson-to-Daniel Hurd seven-yard touchdown connection to give the Tigers their first lead of the contest at 24-21. The score went back-and-forth until USF pulled out to a 42-34 lead in the fourth quarter, setting up the game’s final moments. Curtis Akins (11 tackles) and Jonathan Cook (10 tackles) led the Memphis defense. The Tigers posted a season-high 9.0 TFL, but did not earn a takeaway for the first time this campaign.

That win clinches it. For the first time since 1975 and only the third time in the modern era of Tigers football (since World War II), a first-year University of Memphis head coach will post a winning season. The 2016 Tigers team gave head coach Mike Norvell that gift with a convincing 34-7 American Athletic Conference road victory at Cincinnati. The win improved Memphis’ overall record to 7-4 and assured the Tigers of a winning campaign in 2016. The Tigers are 4-3 in league play. The Bearcats fell to 4-7 overall and 1-6 in The American. Norvell joins Richard Williamson in 1975 (7-4 record) and Ralph Hatley in 1947 (6-2-1) as the only head coaches in program history to have winning records in their first seasons at the helm. Norvell’s seven victories ties Williamson for the most wins by a first-year head coach in program history. The Tigers wrapped up the win over Cincinnati early,
scoring on their first four possessions and two of those off Bearcats’ turnovers. Memphis scored on its first drive and went ahead 3-0 on a Jake Elliott 37-yard field goal. Then, the Tigers defense got in the act. On Cincinnati’s first two possessions of the game, the Memphis defense picked off Hayden Moore passes deep in Bearcats’ territory. Curtis Akins and Chris Morley both returned their interceptions to the Cincinnati 18-yard line. Doroland Dorceus hit pay dirt following Akins’ pick for a 10-0 lead, and Elliott connected on his second field goal of the game – this one a 32-yarder – for a 13-0 advantage after Morley’s interception. Memphis quickly extended its lead to 20-0 early in the second period after the Tigers defense halted a Bearcats’ drive near midfield. Memphis took over at its own 20 and marched 80 yards on 14 plays, and the drive culminated when Jason Stewart hit Joey Magnifico from two yards out for the score. It was Stewart’s first touchdown toss of the season and second of his career. Magnifico’s touchdown reception was his second of the season. For their final score of the first half, the Memphis defense got in the act again. Morley forced a fumble and Latarius Brady fell on the ball at the Cincinnati 32yard line. Dorceus, who accounted for all 32 yards on the drive, scored from eight yards out for his second rushing touchdown of the game and a 27-0 lead at the half. Memphis’ final score of the game came just after intermission when Stewart connected with Anthony Miller for a 22-yard touchdown. The touchdown increased Memphis’ advantage to 34-0 with 10:53 left in the third period. The scoring toss was Stewart’s second of the game, giving him his first multi-touchdown passing performance of his career. Stewart finished the game 13-of-15 passing for 138 yards. The Tigers defense allowed Cincinnati a touchdown early in the fourth quarter, but did not give up any additional scores. It is the fourth game the Tigers defense has held an opponent to fewer than 10 points this season. The last time a Memphis defense held more foes to 10 or fewer points in a campaign was five in 1993. Arthur Maulet led the defense with 10 total tackles. Morley and Tye Northern each added eight stops. Riley Ferguson was 3-of-5 passing for 21 yards before leaving the game in the first half. Dorceus led the ground attack with 66 yards on 13 carries. Phil Mayhue grabbed three passes for 42 yards and extended his streak of consecutive-games-with-a-catch to 26 straight.
T op -5 T igers T idbits • With the win, Mike Norvell became the first head coach since Richard Williamson in 1975 (7-4 record) and only the third mentor in the modern era of Memphis football to have a winning first in his first season at the helm. Ralph Hatley in 1947 (6-2-1 record) is the other coach to do so. • Mike Norvell also tied Richard Williamson for the most wins by a Tigers head coach in his first season. Both coaches have seven victories in their first seasons. • The Tigers defense held Cincinnati to 244 yards of total offense and 100 rushing yards. The 244 yards of total offense were the fewest by a Memphis opponent this season. The 100 yards rushing game was the fourth time this season the Tigers held a foe to 100 or fewer yards in a game (Bowling Green, 91; Temple, 86; SMU, 100). • Memphis scored 17 points off turnovers at Cincinnati. The Tigers have now scored 96 points off turnovers this season. • QB Jason Stewart came off the bench to have a career game, completing 13-of-15 passes for 138 yards and two touchdowns. Stewart also rushed for 11 yards on eight carries. All of his passing numbers were career bests.

2016 review
A 10-yard touchdown pitch and catch from Riley Ferguson to Anthony Miller secured Memphis its second-consecutive year with a win over a top-25 opponent, as Memphis beat No. 18/21 Houston, 48-44, on Black Friday at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium. The win also snapped a six-game losing streak to the Cougars, dating back to 2006. Anthony Miller hauled in a career-high and school-record 15 passes for 169 yards and Phil Mayhue had six catches for 142 yards. Both players had two scores. With Miller’s 15 catches, he also set the Memphis single-season record for receptions with 84. Miller’s two TD receptions move him to a tie for second in Memphis single-season history with 11. Riley Ferguson completed 30-of-45 passes for four touchdowns and a career-high 409 yards, the fourthmost passing yards in a game in program history. He also climbed three spots in single-season passing yards to second place with 3,326 yards.
• With the win over Houston, Mike Norvell became the only first-year head coach in Memphis football history to win eight games. Richard Williamson posted a 7-4 record in his inaugural season in 1975.

Houston Memphis
Doroland Dorceus rushed 15 times for 82 yards and a touchdown, while Darrell Henderson and Patrick Taylor Jr. each had seven carries for 36 yards. Henderson also had a rushing score. Memphis ran up 555 yards of total offense, and forced two turnovers in the game, giving the Tigers 28 takeaways on the season. The Tigers jumped out to a 34-17 halftime lead, scoring the final 13 points of the second quarter, before the Cougars came out firing in the second half and scored 20-unanswered points to grab a 37-34 lead midway through the fourth quarter. Memphis battled back late with Miller catching two touchdowns in the final 3:49 to win the game. Memphis took the opening kickoff and needed just two plays to cover 74 yards. Ferguson found Mayhue on a run-pass-option for 67 yards, staking the Tigers to a 7-0 lead just 42 seconds into the game. The Cougars responded with a 41-yard field goal on their first possession before the Tigers offense used an even balance of four passes and four rushes to go 83 yards over eight plays, pushing ahead to a 14-3 lead after a Dorceus one-yard touchdown plunge. The two teams went back-and-forth in the first quarter, with Houston’s Duke Catalon running in a 10-yard touchdown and Mayhue answering with his second touchdown reception of the game. The Cougars again closed the gap to four points with a 29-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Greg Ward to Tyler McCloskey, before Memphis ended the half by scoring the final 13 points. Memphis kicker Jake Elliott countered by hitting a pair of second-quarter field goals from 40 and 29 yards. Then, after a Tigers interception by Shaun Rupert – the first turnover of the game – the Tigers used the good field position to drive for a score and take 34-17 lead into the locker room. The Cougars were dominant during the third quarter, outgaining the Tigers 179-40 and scoring 10 unanswered points. Houston continued its strong start to the half with 10 more points to start the fourth quarter. After Houston took its first lead of the game in the fourth, Memphis responded immediately with a 10-play, 75-yard drive, capped with the first Ferguson-to-Miller connection, this one a 35-yard touchdown to put the hosts back ahead in the game. Houston retook the lead again, but left the Tigers with 1:29 remaining on the game clock. Memphis countered once again when Ferguson found Miller on a slant pattern from 10 yards away, putting Memphis ahead 48-44 and giving Ferguson his fourth passing touchdown of the contest.

MEMPHIS VS. WESTERN KENTUCKY / BOCA RATON BOWL GAME 13
Burley Bowl • 1956 Memphis State College East Tennessee State
32 12
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. — In November of 1956, Memphis State College received its second bowl bid in school history, but this time University officials accepted the invitation and the team traveled to East Tennessee to participate in its first postseason event. In 1938, the Tigers received an invitation to the Prune Bowl in California and asked bowl officials for a financial guarantee to help cover the cost of transporting the squad to the Golden State. When the guarantee did not come through, Memphis opted to stay home. In 1956, the Memphis squad finished the season with a 4-4-1 record under head coach Ralph Hatley. Andy Nelson and Cotton Clifford served as team captains and helped Memphis to victories in two of the final three games. During that three-week stretch, the Tigers had back-to-back shutouts, defeating Western Kentucky 42-0 and Arkansas State 34-0. November 22 was a cold and blustery day in Johnson City, Tenn. Not suited for football or any other outdoor event, the day was highlighted by a light snowfall and spitting rain and sleet. East Tennessee State College tallied the game’s first points on a 14-yard pass from quarterback Howard Tippett to halfback Bob Lindsey in the first period. The point after failed, as did most that day, and the Buccaneers led 6-0. The Tigers answered the East Tennessee State College score before the first quarter ended. Bob Schmidt blasted into the end zone from two yards

out and, following the missed PAT by Memphis, the score was tied at 6-all. Neither team could do much to defeat the weather the remainder of the first half, although the Tigers penetrated several times into Buccaneers territory in the second quarter. Memphis even moved down to the East Tennessee State College 1-yard line before a fumble halted the drive. The first half ended with the score knotted at 6-all. In the second half, the Tigers got their offense going. After being held to only six points in the first half by a battling Buccaneers bunch, Memphis shook off the effects of the biting cold weather conditions and took charge of the Burley Bowl — which was witnessed by 700 fans on a frigid Thanksgiving afternoon — in the third quarter. The Tigers punched across three touchdowns in that third period to take control of the contest on the way to the program’s first bowl victory. The first time Memphis received the ball in the third quarter, fullback Bobby Brooks sprinted right up the middle, veered to the left and went 45 yards for a touchdown. And, before that decisive period ended, the Tigers also scored on a one-yard plunge by Eddie Gebara and a 64-yard screen pass from Bubba Leonard to Gebara. Andy Nelson took a pitchout four yards for the final Memphis touchdown in the opening minutes of the fourth period. Leonard converted the PAT after the third and fourth touchdowns. East Tennessee State College’s last touchdown came midway in the fourth period when quarterback Joe Dixon ran in from one yard out. The Tigers ended the season with a 5-4-1 record, while East Tennessee State College dropped to a 4-5 mark.

PASADENA, Calif. — A hard-nosed defense that caused numerous San Jose State mistakes and an explosive offense that capitalized on those miscues led the Tigers to a 28-9 Pasadena Bowl rout over the Spartans, before a sparse crowd of 15,244 in the Rose Bowl. Memphis State, making its first major bowl appearance, trailed 3-0 early in the opening period until a blocked punt by Tom Carlsen, who was named the bowl’s Defensive Player of the Game, gave the Tigers a lead they never relinquish. The Tigers received the opening kickoff, and after failing to move the ball, were forced to punt from their own 26-yard line. The Spartans drove the ball 19 yards and attempted a 42-yard field goal that fell short and was returned by the Tigers. Following another failed drive, San Jose State moved the ball to the Memphis 16-yard line before kicker Larry Barnes connected on a 33-yard field goal. It was San Jose State’s only lead of the contest. With 50 seconds remaining in the first quarter, Spartans punter John McMillan stood at his own 15yard line. Carlsen, a Tigers defensive back, blocked McMillan’s punt and fell on the loose ball in the end zone for the score. Hal McGeorge added the point after, and Memphis had a 7-3 lead. The Tigers defense gained an air of confidence and stopped San Jose State on the ensuing series. Following a short Spartans punt, the Tigers took over at midfield. With quarterback Al Harvey leading the offensive attack, the Tigers moved into scoring position. A 13-yard pass from Harvey to Dornell Harris, who was named the bowl’s Offensive Player of the Game, and runs by Harvey, Skeeter Gowen and Paul Wilson set up the Tigers at the 9-yard line. Harvey gobbled up the final nine yards on a run around right end. The 65-yard drive early in the second period gave Memphis a 14-3 lead at intermission. The Tigers kicked off to begin the second half. San Jose State did not move the ball on its opening drive of the second half, but but got a quick second chance when Gowen fumbled on Memphis’ first of-
fensive play. Bill Brown recovered on the Tigers 24 and Memphis’ 14-3 lead looked precarious. The Spartans moved to the Memphis 2-yard line, where on fourth down, the Tigers defense buckled down and stopped Spartans running back Joe Hicks at the line of scrimmage. The defensive stand ended San Jose State’s only real threat of the second half. The third period featured strong defensive play from both teams, and when the quarter ended, the score remained 14-3 in favor of the Tigers. The final stanza opened with San Jose State with the ball, but an interception and 27-yard return by the Tigers’ David Johnson, his second of the game, put the ball at the Spartans 18-yard line. Memphis’ Gowen wasted no time and raced 18 yards to the end zone on the first play from scrimmage for a score. The scoreboard then read 21-3 in the Tigers’ favor. Lightning struck immediately for Memphis. On the Spartans’ first play following the Tigers score, back Larry Lloyd fumbled and Memphis’ Carl Taylor recovered. Five plays later, Tigers fullback Clifton Taylor punched the ball in from the 1-yard line, and Tigers fans rejoiced a 28-3 lead and with 10 minutes remaining. Frustration mounted for San Jose State as the Memphis defense continued its strong play. Forced to pass the ball with time running out, Tigers cornerback Walter Daggett recorded Memphis’ fourth interception of the game to halt another Spartans’ drive. San Jose State’s only touchdown of the game was set up when a Memphis special teams snap sailed over punter John Kidwell’s head and was recovered at the Memphis 20-yard line. A Brad Metheany 1-yard quarterback keeper with 36 seconds left in the contest was the Spartans’ only touchdown. The extra point attempt was wide to the left. The victory over San Jose State marked the second bowl win for the Tigers in school history. The game also marked the end of an era in Tigers football history. Head coach Billy J. Murphy stepped down from his coaching position following the bowl win and dedicated his time to being the University’s athletics director. The former Marine compiled a record of 91-44-1 over his 14 seasons as head coach at Memphis.

Louisiana Superdome (69,767) December 16, 2003
NEW ORLEANS, La. — The nation’s longest bowl drought of 32 years ended in a big way for the University of Memphis. The Tigers, which had not participated in a bowl game since 1971, received a bid to the 2003 New Orleans Bowl and faced Sun Belt Conference champion North Texas. The city of Memphis was electrified. Excitement abounded and the Tigers faithful bought tickets and prepared for the trip to the “Big Easy.” Playing in the first bowl game of the 2003 postseason and before a national television audience on ESPN, the Tigers’ biggest challenge was to stop one of college football’s top running backs in North Texas’ Patrick Cobbs. And, Memphis was without its top offensive weapon, tailback DeAngelo Williams, as the result of a late-season injury. Gameday arrived Dec. 16, and Memphis won the coin toss and deferred to the second half, giving the Mean Green the ball to open the game. On the opening drive, North Texas gave the ball to Cobbs six times, but was forced to call on kicker Nick Bazaldua when the drive stalled at the Tigers 30SCORING SUMMARY Memphis 7 10 0 10 — 27 North Texas 3 0 7 7 — 17 Attendance: 25,184 Weather: temp 72 degrees indoor, wind - none

yard line. Bazaldua booted a 47-yard field goal for a 3-0 lead. But, this night belonged to the bowl-hungry Tigers, and the North Texas lead was short-lived. After Memphis receiver Chris Kelley returned the kickoff to the Tigers 34-yard line, junior quarterback and New Orleans native Danny Wimprine took over. When rushes by Darron White and Derron Parquet failed to gain yardage, Wimprine went up top and connected with wideout Darren Garcia for 63 yards to the North Texas 6-yard line. Three plays later, Wimprine kept the ball and raced seven yards into the end zone for the go-ahead score. The Tigers defense, having had a taste of the North Texas offense, returned to the field determined to shut down the Mean Green. Three plays later, punter Brad Kadlubar kicked the ball back to the Tigers. But, possible disaster struck on the Tigers’ next possession as Parquet was knocked out of the game with a shoulder injury. Memphis was forced to put the ball in the hands of walk-on back LaKendus Cole. Midway through the second quarter, North Texas punted, and the Tigers offense got the ball at the Memphis 24. Powered by the running of Cole and the passing of Wimprine, the Tigers drove the ball to the Mean Green 10-yard line, where Wimprine found Kelley in the end zone for the team’s second score. Stephen Gostkowski added the PAT for a 14-3 Tigers’ lead. Lightning struck again for the Tigers. On the ensuing kickoff, Memphis’ Shaka Hill stripped the ball from returner Kevin Moore, and Cato Mott recovered at the North Texas 8-yard line. After three plays, Gostkowski was connected on a 21-yard field goal for a 17-3 advantage Memphis took to the half. The game’s third stanza was a defensive battle, and both teams were did not move the ball until the two-minute mark. The Mean Green, starting near midfield, marched 58 yards in six plays with Cobbs going the final 35 yards for their first touchdown. Suddenly, the Memphis lead was cut to 17-10 as the third quarter ended. Memphis regained its composure and took control of the game in the fourth quarter. And, it started early in the final period. At the 12:28 mark of the fourth quarter, Memphis took over at its own 38-yard line. Wimprine hit White for 20 yards, and Robert Douglas gained three on his first carry of the game. After a North Texas
facemask penalty, Cole had gains of two yards and 14 yards to the Mean Green 5-yard line. On 2nd-andgoal, Cole burst up the middle for the touchdown and a 24-10 lead. It was Cole’s first collegiate touchdown and put the game out of reach. North Texas scored again on Cobb’s run of two yards with 2:26 on the clock, but it was too little, too late. The Tigers scored on their next possession to ice the victory. With Cole gaining yards on the ground and Wimprine connecting with receivers Mario Pratcher and John Doucette, Memphis moved within field goal range, and Gostkowski’s 42-yard field goal gave Memphis a 27-17 lead and started the celebration in both New Orleans and the Bluff City. As the final seconds ticked off the clock, the players gave head coach Tommy West a cooler bath and then carried him onto the field on their shoulders. New Orleans Bowl director Ron Maestri presented the Tigers the championship trophy at midfield, and Wimprine was named the game’s MVP. Cole was presented the game ball by West after rushing for 62 yards and one score in a reserve role. Memphis completed the 2003 season with a record of 9-4, marking the best finish by a Tigers team since the 1963 season.

a 35-28 lead and the momentum heading into the second half. After the break, Bowling Green took control of the game. The Falcons scored the lone touchdown in the third quarter -- Jacob’s fifth touchdown pass -- and added 10 points in the final quarter before Memphis’ last score with under five minutes to play for the 52-35 final. Tim Goodwell finished the game with 10 total tackles (five solo), two TFL and a quarterback sack to lead the Tigers defense. Jovon Burkes led the Bowling Green defense with 11 hits (six solo) and two TFL. Wimprine went over 10,000 yards passing and finished his career with nearly every Memphis passing record. The Tigers quarterback topped the record book for career passing yards (10,215), completions (808), attempts (1,469) and touchdowns (81). Before his third quarter injury, Williams went over 4,000 career rushing yards. The 100-yard GMAC Bowl performance was the 24th 100-yard rushing game of his career.

Game Notes
MOBILE, Ala. — In an aerial battle before a raindrenched 29,500 at Ladd-Peebles Stadium, Memphis’ Danny Wimprine and Bowling Green’s Omar Jacobs put on a show for the ESPN national television audience. In the end, Jacobs won the shootout in leading the Falcons to a high-scoring 52-35 GMAC Bowl victory over the Tigers. Jacobs, the GMAC Bowl MVP, connected on 26of-44 passes for 365 yards and five touchdowns. Not to be outdone, Wimprine was just as impressive. The Memphis senior quarterback was 26-of-39 passing
for 324 yards and four touchdowns. Each signal-caller had one interception. Wimprine and Jacobs received help from each team’s running game. For the Tigers, DeAngelo Williams, the Conference USA Offensive Player of the Year, carried the ball 18 times for 120 yards, including an impressive 31-yard touchdown run in the second quarter. Williams missed the final quarter after breaking his right fibula in the third period. P.J. Pope aided the Falcons’ cause with 151 rushing yards on 28 carries and two scores. The offensive fireworks started almost from the opening kickoff. After Bowling Green held the Tigers on their first possession, the Falcons took over on their own 41. Nine plays later, Pope found the end zone from a yard out for a 7-0 Bowling Green lead. However, the Falcons were not done. On the ensuing kickoff, Bowling Green pulled some trickery out of the playbook early with an onside kick. The Falcons recovered the kick, and the Bowling Green offense was back in business. Jacobs directed a fourplay, 52-yard drive in only 45 seconds to give the Falcons a 14-0 lead just over five minutes into the contest. The score came when Jacobs connected with Charles Sharon from 18 yards out. Memphis got its second possession of the game and took little time cutting the Bowling Green lead in half. The Tigers went 80 yards in seven plays, and the drive culminated in a Wimprine-to-John Doucette 42-yard touchdown toss with 6:51 left in the first quarter. With the game taking on a back-and-forth nature, the Falcons answered immediately. Jacobs led Bowling Green on a six-play, 68-yard drive over the next 2:05 to put the Falcons ahead 21-7. Jacobs hooked up with Sharon for a 36-yard scoring toss. In the second quarter, the Tigers scored 17 seconds into the period on a Wimprine 60-yard pass to Chris Kelley. The score began a five-touchdown quarter that ended with the Falcons holding a 35-28 halftime lead. Memphis pulled even at 28-all on a Williams’ 31-yard touchdown scamper with 3:37 left. Bowling Green, though, had one final answer before halftime. Jacobs threw his fourth touchdown pass of the first half when he found Steve Sanders in the end zone with only :37 on the clock. The score gave the Falcons

DETROIT, Mich. — It was the holiday season, and the Memphis Tigers football team gave its fans a Merry Christmas — even though it came a day later. Behind a DeAngelo Williams 238-yard rushing performance and three Stephen Gostkowski field goals, the Tigers posted their second postseason victory in three seasons with a 38-31 win over Akron in the 2005 Motor City Bowl. The game was played at Ford Field, the site of the NFL’s 2006 Super Bowl in early February. Williams, who was named the Motor City Bowl MVP, compiled his bowl record-setting 238 yards on 31 carries and scored three touchdowns. Gostkowski hit field goals of 32, 25 and 50 yards, and the 50-yard effort set a Motor City Bowl mark. The way the game started gave no indication it would end up being a 38-31 shootout. The Mem-

phis offense sputtered at the start, and the Tigers relied on their defense and punter Michael Gibson’s foot. The Tigers defense allowed the Zips only three points, despite having two first-quarter drives deep in Memphis territory. Akron scored the field goal on its second drive, but on the first trip across the 50yard line, the Zips’ series was halted at the Memphis 25 when Tim Goodwell and Rod Smith stopped Brett Biggs on 4th-and-1. Gibson played just as important a role in the first quarter with two long punts – 51 and 49 yards – that pinned Akron inside its own 10-yard line both times. After watching the defense keep the Tigers in the game in the first quarter, the Memphis offense got on track in the second frame. Williams, who gained only 19 yards in the first quarter, picked it up on the Tigers’ first scoring drive with 34 yards on the ground. Tigers quarterback Maurice Avery also found his groove in the second quarter, hitting Ernest Williams on a 42-yard strike to the Akron 23. Four plays later, Gostkowski connected on a 32-yard field goal to tie the contest at 3-all. The Tigers kept it going. The defense held the Zips to 3-and-out on their next series, and the Memphis offense continued to roll. On the first play of the ensuing drive, Avery found his target in Ryan Scott for a 50-yard gain to the Akron 2-yard line. Williams then pushed the ball across the goal line for the first Memphis lead of the game. After Gostkowski’s PAT, the Tigers led 10-3. With just over four minutes left before halftime, Akron got the ball with an opportunity to cut into the Tigers lead, but it didn’t happen. The Tigers offense took over with 2:30 on the clock and took advantage of another scoring chance. After two rushes netted a minus-3 yards, Avery took back to the air and again hit Scott for a long gain – this time, 48 yards – to the Akron 27. From there, the Tigers moved the ball to the Zips 7, where Gostkowski hit his second field goal for a 13-3 halftime lead. The early portion of the second half looked no different for the Akron offense. Stymied by the Tigers in the first half, the Zips were unable to get past their own 40-yard line on the first two possessions. Aided by two Akron defensive pass interference calls, the Tigers moved down to the Akron 2, where Williams scored his second touchdown for a 20-3 Memphis lead. With only three minutes left in the third quarter and down 20-3, the Zips scored via the air on the ensuing drive. Zips quarterback Luke Getsy was 6-of-7 passing for 80 yards on the series that resulted in a 46-yard scoring strike to Jabari Arthur to cut the Tigers’ lead to 20-10. The game moved into the fourth quarter, and the shootout began. Gostkowski got it started with
a 50-yard field goal for a 23-10 Tigers lead. Akron responded with a quick three-play, 80-yard drive to cut the Memphis lead to 23-17. The big play was a Getsyto-Biggs 72-yard scoring strike. The Tigers then answered with their own big play in the form of Williams. With the Zips closing in and also gaining momentum, Memphis’ All-America running back took a handoff and raced 67 yards to the Akron 2. On the next play, Williams scored his third touchdown. Avery added the two-point conversion for a 31-17 Memphis advantage. The Tigers added another score on an Ernest Williams 5-yard run to increase the lead to 38-17 with only 6:38 left. However, the Zips did not quit. Akron scored two touchdowns in under six minutes to pull to within seven at 38-31 with only 50 seconds left. The Zips’ first drive took nearly five minutes, and ended when Getsy hit Domenik Hixon from 14 yards out. The Akron special teams then executed a perfect onside kick, and recovered the ball at midfield with 1:45 left. One minute later, Getsy connected with Arthur for a 19-yard touchdown pass to cut the Tigers lead to 38-31. The Zips tried their magic one more time, but this time, the Tigers special teams recovered the onside kick, and Memphis ran out the clock for the win. Goodwell, who received the UAW Lineman Award, led the Tigers defense with 12 tackles, five TFL and two sacks.

Game Notes
NEW ORLEANS, La. — Four out of five. Let’s say it again! For the fourth time in the last five seasons, the Memphis Tigers football team earned a postseason bowl berth. Despite their 44-27 setback to Florida Atlantic in the 2007 R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl, the Tigers and their fans had a lot to be proud of when looking at the entire 2007 campaign. The season began with a tough start, but Memphis caught its stride in late October and rode that wave to a fourth bowl game under head coach Tommy West.
Let’s take a quick review: • A bowl looked like a distant dream after a 2-4 start to the season. • The schedule took on a major shift when the Sept. 8 game at Arkansas State was postponed due to inclement weather. The contest was moved to Sept. 27, making the Tigers play three games in 11 days. • After losing the first two games in the rugged three-games-in-11-days stretch, the Tigers suffered an even greater loss on the night of Sept. 30 when defensive lineman Taylor Bradford was shot and later died. After two days of emotional outpouring, the Memphis players took the field arm-in-arm for its Conference USA home opener versus Marshall. The Tigers won the game 24-21. • With a home loss to Middle Tennessee in mid-October, bowl hopes were all but lost with three of the next four C-USA games on the road. • As was the trend in the West era, the Tigers did not fold. Memphis won all three league road games (at Rice, Tulane and Southern Miss) in that stretch and repositioned itself in the bowl picture. • The Tigers sealed the bowl invitation with back-toback home wins over UAB and SMU to close the regular season. So, you ask, what did the Tigers accomplish? • A winning record for the fourth time in the last five years (2003-07). The last time Memphis did that was from 1973-77 when the Tigers had fivestraight winning seasons. • Six conference wins, the most league victories in school history. • A second-place C-USA East Division finish, the second in three years. • A fourth bowl in the last five years, the first time for a stretch like that in school history. Granted, the bowl setback to Florida Atlantic put a small bitter taste in the mouths of the Tigers, but Memphis’ “never-give-up” attitude kept them in the game until the end despite several injuries that sidelined key Tigers. Kicker Matt Reagan left the game with a concussion, and receiver Maurice Jones was sidelined with a dislocated hip. In addition, T.J. Pitts broke his ankle and quarterback Martin Hankins was knocked out of the game with a knee injury in the third quarter. Before a crowd of 25,146 at the Louisiana Superdome, seniors Joseph Doss and Hankins went out in style with solid performances. Hankins was 25-of-39 passing for 281 yards and three scores, and Doss rushed for 91 yards on 20 carries and caught a teamhigh five passes for 42 yards. With his 281 yards passing, Hankins set the Memphis single-season mark with 3,220 yards. He also set season records for completions (261) and touchdowns (25). For his career, Hankins totaled 5,770 yards, 43 touchdowns and 487 completions — all second to Danny Wimprine. In the game, Hankins’ favorite targets were Carlos Singleton (4 receptions/63 yards/1 TD) and Duke Calhoun (4 catches/40 yards). With their receptions, both Singleton and Calhoun extended streaks. Singleton extended his streak to 21 games with a reception, while Calhoun caught a pass in all 24 of his collegiate games. After a first quarter warm-up with Florida Atlantic leading 17-7, the teams combined for 26 points in the second period. Two Joey Mack field goals kept the Tigers close, but the Owls answered with touchdowns for a 30-13 lead. However, Memphis closed the gap to 30-20 just before the half when Hankins hit Earnest Williams from 19 yards out. Following halftime, Memphis cut further into the Florida Atlantic lead. A Hankins-to-Singleton
Quarterback Martin Hankins threw for 281 yards and three touchdowns before leaving the game with an injury.

TROPICANA FIELD (33,000) DECEMBER 20, 2008
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — This was the bowl game head coach Tommy West wanted for his program. Sure, he and his Tigers enjoyed their bowl trips four of the previous five years. But, this invitation to the inaugural magicJack St. Petersburg Bowl was — in West’s eyes — an opportunity to see where Memphis stood on the national scene, no matter the game’s outcome. The bowl game had Memphis playing its first BCS league foe in school postseason history, as the Tigers faced the USF Bulls. While the previous bowl trips were important in their own right, West believed this bowl would set the course for the direction of the program’s future. The Bulls won the game 41-14 before a predominantly pro-USF crowd of 25,205 at Tropicana Field, home of the MLB American League champion Tampa Bay Rays. The appearance at Tropicana Field made

history for the Tigers, as it was the first time Memphis played in a Major League Baseball stadium. As for the game, it pitted one of the nation’s best rushing offenses (Memphis) against one of the country’s top rushing defenses (USF), and on this day, the defense won the battle. The Tigers entered the contest averaging over 200 yards via their ground game, but the Bulls had the nation’s ninth-best rushing defense and it showed. USF held Memphis to only 66 yards on 30 carries, and Tigers running back Curtis Steele, a 1,000-yard rusher, gained most of those with 48 yards on 12 rushes. While the Bulls defense shut down the Memphis offense, the Tigers defense had no answer for USF quarterback Matt Grothe, who was named the bowl game’s MVP. Grothe was 17-of-24 passing for 236 yards and three touchdowns and rushed for 83 yards on 15 carries. He also had one reception for 14 yards. Grothe did all of his damage in the first three quarters, as he sat out the final period. The Bulls got started early and never looked back. On the game’s opening kickoff, USF’s Dontavia Bogan took Matt Reagan’s kickoff at the 1-yard line and returned it 56 yards to the Memphis 43. Three plays later, the Bulls were on the board when Grothe hit Taurus Johnson with a 28-yard scoring strike for a 7-0 lead. The USF scoring drive only took 1:02 off the clock. Later in the first period, USF struck again on a short six-play drive. Grothe was 3-of-3 passing for 57 yards in putting the Bulls at the Memphis 4-yard line. From there, Ben Williams gained the final four yards and increased the USF lead to 14-0. However, West’s Tigers did not go away. On the ensuing drive, Memphis marched 73 yards on six plays and cut the USF advantage in half at 14-7. The drive only took 2:19, and it ended when Tigers quarterback Arkelon Hall hit pay dirt from three yards out. The Bulls, though, took the momentum back on their next possession. After striking quickly on its first two scoring drives, USF put together a lengthy 14-play, 63-yard possession that ended in a Maikon Bonani 23-yard field goal for a 17-7 advantage. The drive took 5:51 off the clock. After holding the Tigers on their next possession, USF had another five-minute scoring drive — this time, 5:24 — that culminated in a Grothe-to-Ben Busbee 13-yard touchdown connection to give the Bulls a 24-7 lead with only 4:15 left before halftime. Again, the Tigers mounted a response. With a little over four minutes before intermission, Memphis started on its own 20, and Hall led the way. The Ti-
gers quarterback was 7-of-10 passing for 60 yards, including a two-yard touchdown pass to Duke Calhoun with 0:08 left in the second quarter. The score cut the USF lead to 24-14 at the break and pulled momentum back to the Tigers’ side. That momentum, however, swung back to the Bulls in the third quarter. The USF defense held Memphis to only 60 yards on its first two second-half drives, while the Bulls offense capitalized with 10 points to increase their lead to 34-14 by the end of the third quarter. Bonani added a 37-yard field goal midway through the third quarter, and Grothe threw his third touchdown pass near the end of the period to put the contest out of reach. The Bulls added a final touchdown early in the fourth quarter for the 41-14 final. Hall was 15-of-31 passing for 154 yards and one score. Calhoun was the Tigers’ leading receiver with a game-high six catches for 39 yards and one touchdown. Brandon Patterson led the Tigers defense with nine tackles. Grothe’s primary targets were Carlton Mitchell (60 yards) and Johnson (40 yards, 1 TD), who each had four receptions. Tyron McKenzie led the USF defense with a game-best 11 tackles.

Memphis had to overcome five turnovers, including a BYU 19-yard interception return for a touchdown 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 converted 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 to tie the game at 45-all. In the first overtime period, Jake Elliott kicked a 54-yard field goal to tie the game at 48-all and send the contest to a second overtime. Elliott’s 54-yarder was the longest in an overtime period in FBS bowl history and also the fourth-longest in bowl history. And after Memphis 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 and was named the Miam Beach Bowl’s Most Valuable Player. 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. 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 accounted for a combined 905 yards of total 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.

single-season passing yardage mark, previously set in 2007, and now stands at 3,995. Paxton Lynch, who has single-season school records for touchdown passes, passing yards and 300yard passing games, was 17-of-38 behind center for 104 yards. The rushing attack was paced by Doroland Dorceus, who ran 10 times for 39 yards. Jarvis Cooper had five rushes for 35 yards. Mose Frazier and Phil Mayhue each hauled in four receptions, with Frazier recording a team-high 47 yards. Memphis forced three turnovers, two on Reggis Ball interceptions, and the third on an interception from Dontrell Nelson. Auburn used trickery on its first drive of the game, converting a fake punt for a 37-yard pass to the Memphis 3-yard line. However, the defense tightened and did not allow another positive yard, forcing the Tigers to a 20-yard field goal for a 3-0 lead. On its second drive of the game, Auburn got a nine-yard rush from Kerryon Johnson to push Auburn’s advantage to 10-0 with just under two minutes remaining in the first quarter. With 10:03 to play in the second quarter, Memphis kicker and Lou Groza Award finalist Jake Elliott booted a 53-yard field goal — tied for the third-longest in program history — and cut the Memphis deficit to seven at 10-3. Elliott’s 53-yard field goal set a Birmingham Bowl record for the longest field goal. It was Elliott’s sixth career field goal of 52 yards or more, as he owns four of the five longest field goals in program history (the other is held by current New England Patriots kicker Stephen Gostkowski). Elliott’s kick also tied a school record for most field goals in a season (23), as he tied Joe Allison’s total from the 1992 season. On Memphis’ next drive, Elliott was set to take sole possession of the field goal record, but his 34yard attempt was blocked, keeping the Auburn advantage at 10-3 with 5:55 to play in the opening half. After stopping Auburn on a third down near midfield, the visitors on the scoreboard attempted a fourth-down pass that was picked off by Ball for his second interception in the game. Ball returned this one 56 yards for his first collegiate touchdown and knotted the score at 10-all at halftime. Memphis came out of the halftime break and drove 56 yards on 13 plays, moving the ball down to the Auburn 9-yard line before Lynch’s pass attempt was tipped and intercepted in the end zone.
Two possessions later, Auburn used eight plays to drive 44 yards and scored the go-ahead touchdown when quarterback Jeremy Johnson found Jason Smith out of the backfield. Smith evaded Memphis tacklers on his way to the end zone, giving Auburn a 17-10 lead near the end of the third quarter. Auburn extended its advantage to 24-10 on the Tigers’ first play of the fourth quarter when Johnson found pay dirt from five yards out with 14:57 remaining in the contest. Following a 56-yard punt return after Memphis’ next possession, Auburn’s Javon Robinson scored his first touchdown of the game from four yards out, pushing Auburn’s lead to 21 at 31-10 with 12:57 to play.
