Bowl Bound Tigers
• This is the 11th bowl game in Memphis program history and the ninth in the last 15 years. • Memphis has a 5-5 record in its bowl games all-time. • The Tigers' last bowl win was a thrilling 55-48 double-OT victory over BYU in the 2015 Miami Beach Bowl. • The Tigers clinched bowl eligibility status with their win at Houston Oct. 19, marking the second-earliest in a season that Memphis has become bowl eligible. In 2015, the Tigers won their sixth game Oct. 17 over Ole Miss to clinch a bowl berth.
The First Time
• For the first time in program history, Memphis plays in a bowl game for a fourth-consecutive season. The Tigers played in three-straight bowl games from 2003-05. • Memphis plays in its first ever AutoZone Liberty Bowl, which has been played at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium since it opened in 1965. • Memphis and Iowa State play for the first time in the two programs histories. However, the Cyclones have twice played in the AutoZone Liberty Bowl. Iowa State lost 31-30 to Georgia Tech in 1972 and fell 31-17 to Tulsa in 2012.
Home For The Holidays
• Memphis is one of 18 FBS programs to currently have its home stadium play host to a postseason bowl game. While the Tigers are playing at home for the first time during bowl season, several programs have a history of staying home (and winning) for the holidays. • Hawai'i has played nine bowl games (5-4 record) in its home stadium, more than any other school. Miami will play in its eighth Orange Bowl (5-2 record) this season and UTEP has played in the Sun Bowl seven times (5-2 record). • UCLA has played in the Rose Bowl Game five times (3-2 record) since making the stadium its permanent home in 1982. The Bruins have played in 12 Rose Bowl Games all-time dating back to 1943. • Other teams playing a bowl game in their home stadium this season: Florida Atlantic, Miami and Navy.
Fan Friendly Bowl Game
• For Tiger fans, there may not be a better scenario than seeing Memphis play in the AutoZone Liberty Bowl. Memphis fans have one of the shortest bowl trips of any fan-base in the country. • Since Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium is not located on the University of Memphis campus, Memphis is actually not playing the closest to home this postseason. Florida Atlantic is playing in its first Boca Raton Bowl, which is held at FAU Stadium located on the school's campus. • The American Athletic Conference features three of the shortest bowl trips in the country this season. Navy plays in its home stadium against Virginia in the Military Bowl and SMU makes the 25-mile trip north to the Frisco Bowl to play Louisiana Tech at Toyota Stadium. • Another AAC team, Houston has the longest bowl trip of the season. The Cougars will fly nearly 4,000 miles to Honolulu for the Hawai'i Bowl.
Beating The Big 12
• Memphis owns a 3-3 record against current teams from the Big 12 Conference, after beating Kansas in both 2015 and 2016. The Tigers rolled the Jayhawks 55-23 in Lawrence in 2015 before beating them 43-7 at the Liberty Bowl in 2016. • The only other Big 12-member schools Memphis has previously played are Kansas State and TCU, while neither were Big 12 members at the time. K-State holds a 2-1 edge in its series with the Tigers. The two schools have not played since the Wildcats won both games of a home-and-home series in 1971 (28-21) and 1973 (2116). K-State was a member of the Big 8 Conference from 1913-96. • Memphis and TCU met once as members of Conference USA during the 2002 season, with the Horned Frogs winning 27-20.
This Season At The Liberty Bowl
• Memphis posted an undefeated home record (7-0) at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium for the first time in program history. The 2017 season marked the 52nd year that the Tigers have called the Liberty Bowl home. • In the seven home wins, Memphis is averaging 50 points-per-game and over 500 yards of offense. • The Tigers accomplished another program first at the Liberty Bowl, defeating two ranked teams in the same season for the first time – No. 25 UCLA (Sept. 16) and No. 25/24 Navy (Oct. 14).
DECEMBER 30, 2017 LIBERTY BOWL MEMORIAL STADIUM / MEMPHIS, TENN. Recipe For A Win
• The 59th AutoZone Liberty Bowl features an 11:30 a.m. kickoff on ABC, which could play into the hands of the Memphis Tigers. Memphis has a history of big wins with a morning kickoff start time on ABC at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium. • With this season’s 48-45 win over No. 25 UCLA, the Tigers have used that familiar recipe to craft exciting wins in three consecutive seasons. • In 2015, Memphis hosted Mid-South rival and No. 12 Ole Miss, with a kickoff time of 11 a.m. (CT) on ABC. The Tigers won 37-24. A year later, Memphis and No. 18 Houston kicked off at 11 a.m. (CT) on ABC. Same result: a Tigers victory, 48-44. • Since 2014, Memphis is 8-3 in Saturday morning games, including a 7-0 record at home. The loss to UCF in the American Athletic Conference Championship game was the first 11 a.m. game the Tigers have lost since 2015 at Temple. • Iowa State has its own success in morning games, going 6-2 in 11 a.m. kickoffs this season, including the upset of No. 3 Oklahoma. The Cyclones two losses in morning games were each by one possession.
First Time Bowl Opponent
• The AutoZone Liberty Bowl marks the sixth time that Memphis will play a first-time opponent in its bowl game. The Tigers are 3-2 in those games. • Memphis had never played San Jose State (1972), Bowling Green (2004), Akron (2005), Florida Atlantic (2007) or BYU (2015) before meeting each in a bowl game. The only team the Tigers have faced again is Bowling Green in 2015 and 2016.
Hometown Heroes
• The Tigers roster features 30 local products, including 10 on the depth chart – RB/ KR Tony Pollard, WR Anthony Miller, TE Joey Magnifico, TE Scottie Dill, DE Christian Johnson, LB Tim Hart, DB Austin Hall, DB Thomas Pickens, LS Preston Brady and H Evan Michael. • Senior Memphis natives Christian Johnson and Anthony Miller have each represented their hometown well. Johnson has played in 44 career games for Memphis and Miller has played in 37 career games. • Each year since 2001, the AutoZone Liberty Bowl has hosted a High School All-Star Game featuring the top seniors from the Memphis Metro Area. Eighteen current Tigers competed in the All-Star game before joining the Tigers – DL Christian Johnson, WR Anthony Miller and H Evan Michael in 2012, RB/KR Tony Pollard, OL Brytain Peddy, OL Peyton Jones, TE Joey Magnifico, DB Ladarius Jordan and DB Austin Hall in 2014, LB Tim Hart, DB Thomas Pickens, DB Colton Cochran, WR Hunter Hill and OL Ryan Young in 2015, and RB Timothy Taylor, RB Marquavious Weaver, LB Tyler Garvey and LS Preston Brady in 2016.
The State of Iowa
• There are very few connections between Memphis and Iowa State, but there are some. The Tigers have never before played a school from the state of Iowa, let alone any school that even starts with the letter "I." • Memphis OL coach Ryan Silverfield previously served as an assistant under current Iowa State head coach Matt Campbell at Toledo in 2014. The Rockets went 9-4 and 7-1 in MAC play and OL Greg Mancz was named an All-American under Silverfield's guidance. • One of Silverfield's current pupils, OL Roger Joseph spent one season at Ellsworth Community College in Iowa Falls, Iowa, about one hour from Ames. He was named to the 2016 All-Iowa Community College Athletic Conference (ICCAC) first team. • Iowa State senior OL Robby Garcia is the son of former Memphis Tiger Robert Garcia (1991). Garcia has started 11 games at guard this season.
Among The Youngest
• The 59th AutoZone Liberty Bowl matches up a pair of head coaches under 40 years old. Memphis head coach Mike Norvell is 36 years old and Iowa State head coach Matt Campbell is 37. • There are 13 FBS head coaches under-40, while Oregon State has hired 38-year old Jonathan Smith who will take over in 2018. • Ten of the coaches under-40 have led their teams to bowl games this season. The New Orleans Bowl also features to coaches under-40 in North Texas' Seth Littrell (39) and Troy's Neal Brown (37).
An Old Foe In The Broadcast Booth
• Tommy Tuberville has roamed the sidelines of Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium on several occasions as a head coach, but for the 59th AutoZone Liberty Bowl he will take in the game from the press box as part of the ABC announcing crew. • Tuberville compiled a 2-3 record in five games coached at the Liberty Bowl. • While he was the head coach at Ole Miss, he made two trips to Memphis in 1995 with a win over Memphis and a loss to Arkansas. Tuberville came back to the Liberty Bowl in 1996 and lost to Tennessee. • As the head coach at Cincinnati, Tuberville came to the Liberty Bowl in 2013 and 2015 and split the games. • In six career games against Memphis, Tuberville posted a 3-3 record. Against Iowa State, Tuberville went 1-2 as head coach at Texas Tech.

Page 5
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 58,318-seat facility, built in 1965 at a cost of $3.7 million by the city of Memphis, is operated by the Spectra Venue Management. The Tigers inaugurated the stadium in the fall of 1965 and, in 52 years, have compiled a 170-144-7 record at 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 2004, was replaced with FieldTurf prior to the 2005 campaign. For the 2012 season, the surface changed to AstroTurf®, which is used in several FBS collegiate and NFL stadiums. The field surface upgrade was part of major renovations in 2012. The Liberty Bowl got another makeover in 2016. With the approval of the Memphis City Council in December of 2015, premium chairback seating was added. A total of 5,596 chairback seats are available for Tigers fans. The new 22-inch wide chairback seats replaced the 19-inch wide chairbacks and 15-inch wide bleacher seating on the lower portion of the east and west sidelines. Other 2016 upgrades included lighting, scoreboard and the adjacent Pipkin Building, all improving the Tigers gameday experience. The centerpiece of the 2012 renovations 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 video board with a sound system located on the sides. The scoreboard’s speakers and crown make the structure’s size grow to 106x58 feet. The north end zone was updated with an LED board that is 38x10 feet. In addition to the $850,000 FieldTurf playing surface in 2005, the Liberty Bowl underwent several aesthetic changes from 2005-11 that made the stadium look more like the “Home of the Tigers.” Prior to 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 facelift project for the stadium’s lower-concourse restrooms was completed prior to that season. A major renovation took place prior to the 2009 season when the Tigers’ and visitors’ locker rooms 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 2009 and 2013 brought the stadium into ADA compliance. The two makeovers lowered the stadium’s capacity from 62,380 to 59,308. 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. The renovations included 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. Before the upgrades in the 2000s, the previous major renovation came in 1987, and included skysuites on the stadium’s east side, adding approximately 12,000 seats in the stands and a stadium club. 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 that included families of the four individuals who lost their lives. A commemorative plaque, located at the Tiger Lane entrance to the stadium, was unveiled in their memory. Several professional teams also have called the Liberty Bowl home in its 51 years. In 1974, the Grizzlies of the World Football League played their only season in Memphis. From 1978-80, 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), NFL’s Tennessee Oilers (1997) and 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 upset of No. 6 Tennessee. The Tigers defeated the Vols 21-17 before a CBS Sports television audience. The Liberty Bowl was the site where Memphis claimed its first conference championship since 1971. In the 2014 home finale, Memphis defeated Connecticut for a share of the American Athletic Conference crown. In 2015, Memphis set a home attendance record with an average of 43,802 fans per game. The previous attendance record was 41,175 in 2004.

*Will make his head coaching debut in fall of 2018
Mike Norvell came to Memphis with an ability to develop dynamic offenses, and needless to say, his first two seasons did not disappoint. After a record-breaking season in year one, the 2017 Tigers only improved. The 2017 team set program records in points scored (572), touchdowns (70), passing touchdowns (37), total offense (6,578) and passing yards (4,069). At 47.7 points per game, the Memphis offense was ranked second nationally and fourth in total offense with 548.2 yards per game. It was also the first time that the Tigers produced a 3,000-yard passer, 1,000-yard receiver, and 1,000-yard rusher in the same season. Norvell also came to Memphis with the desire to win, and he has done just that. With 18 victories, Norvell has won more games in his first two years than any other coach at Memphis (Richard Williamson is second at 14 games). The 10 wins Memphis enjoyed in 2017 proved to be the first 10win regular season since 1938 and just third 10-win season in program history. The 7-0 undefeated record at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium was also a first for the Tigers. When Norvell came to Memphis in 2016, the rookie head coach had a first-year starter at quarterback and no “go-to” receiver. Riley Ferguson and Anthony Miller, however, blossomed at quarterback and receiver under Norvell’s tutelage into the most prolific offensive players in program history. Ferguson backed up an impressive first year with a record-breaking performance in 2017. Ferguson set the program-record with 3,971 passing yards and 36 touchdowns during his senior campaign and will finish his Memphis career second all-time in total yards and touchdowns. A receiver during his collegiate playing days, Norvell’s offensive scheme highlights the explosive Tigers receiving corps. Miller quickly turned into the Tigers’ primary receiver in 2016 and his career sky-rocketed from there. Under Norvell, Miller has been named an All-American and All-Conference player and now holds all of the receiving records at Memphis including yards (3,535), receptions (234), and touchdowns (36). Miller’s 17 receiving touchdowns in 2017 ranked second nationally and broke his own school-record of 14 set as a junior. He also ranked second in FBS with 1,407 receiving yards. Tony Pollard and Phil Mayhue proved to be great compliments to Miller as the two combined for almost 1,000-yards in 2017. Memphis had six receivers with over 250 yards and four with over 300 in Norvell’s second season, both improvements from his rookie year. Not to be overlooked by the receiving corps, Memphis’ running game in 2017 is a force to be reckoned with. At 8.88 yards per carry, Darrell Henderson led all FBS running backs and he became the eighth player at Memphis to rush for over 1,000 yards. The tandem of Henderson and Patrick Taylor Jr. combined for 22 touchdowns in 2017 and over 1,900 yards. The 33 team rushing touchdowns this season tied a program-record set in 1961. While the offense has flourished in Norvell’s two seasons at the helm, the Tigers defense and special teams are not to be overshadowed. In back-to-back seasons, the Memphis defense was one of the nation’s most opportunistic units, forcing opponents to turn the ball over 29 times in 2016 and 30 times in 2017. The 30 turnovers this season ranks second nationally, and of those 30 turnovers, 16 were interceptions, which ranked 11th nationally. Freshman TJ Carter set a Memphis freshman record with five interceptions and was ultimately tabbed as The American Rookie of the Year and a USA Today and ESPN.com Freshman All-American. The defense also ranked fifth nationally, an improvement from 18th a year ago, in turnover margin at +14. Memphis has had a +22 turnover
PB
margin in Norvell’s first two years, a combined total that ranks the Tigers tied for fifth in the nation. The focus Norvell and his staff placed on the game’s third phase, special teams, has provided major dividends during his tenure. It also brought to an end what was believed to be the longest kick return for a touchdown drought in FBS history. The span of time was nearly 21 seasons, but the 2016 Tigers special teams laid that record to rest and never looked back. In the Oct. 6, 2016 win over Temple, Tony Pollard took an Owls’ kickoff and raced 95 yards for a touchdown, the first by a Memphis player since November of 1996. With another kick-return score in 2016 and an FBS-leading four in 2017, Pollard now sits just one kick return for a touchdown shy of matching the FBS career record. No other team has returned a kickoff for a touchdown more than Memphis has in the last two years. For his efforts in kick returns, Pollard was named The American Special Teams Player of the Year in back-toback seasons. For the second consecutive season, the Tigers kick return unit ranked fifth nationally and led The American with a 26.09 average in 2017. The 2016 squad averaged 26.57 yards per kickoff return. In Norvell’s first year, Memphis had the second-best kick return defense in the country, allowing opponents a mere 16.04 yards per return and none returned for touchdowns. A major reason for the Tigers’ success on kick return defense was Lou Groza semifinalist Jake Elliott’s 64 touchbacks out of 92 kickoffs (69.6 percent). Elliott’s 64 touchbacks led The American and was third nationally. Not to be outdone, the Tigers punting unit also shined during his first season. Memphis led The American and was eighth nationally in net punting at 41.10 yards. Spencer Smith was the league’s top punter 45.2 yards per boot and nearly half of his 45 punts ended in fair catches by the opposition. He had 13 punts of 50 or more yards and placed 11 of his kicks inside the opponents’ 20yard line. In two seasons at Memphis, Norvell has placed 15 total players on the all-conference teams, including 11 first team selections. The Tigers swept the league’s first team special teams positions in 2016.

Speaking Of Records
• Memphis amassed a program-best 6,578 yards of total offense, eclipsing the 6,000-yard mark for a third-consecutive season. The Tigers have only played 12 games and have run 882 offensive plays. In 2015, Memphis set program records with 6,330 yards on 1,028 total plays. • QB Riley Ferguson set a single-season passing mark with 3,971 yards and the Tigers team total of 4,069 passing yards is also a program record. Ferguson also set the single-game passing yards record with 471, twice. • WR Anthony Miller had the greatest receiving season in program history last year and is on pace to outdo himself this year. With 92 catches and 1,407 receiving yards, he needs just four catches and 28 yards to set new marks.
All-Americans
• WR Anthony Miller and RB/KR Tony Pollard have raked in the honors this postseason, each being named to a slew of All-America teams. • Miller was named the Tigers' third NCAA Consensus All-American, after garnering first team All-America nods by the Associated Press, the American Football Coaches Association, ESPN, USA Today, Phil Steele and Bleacher Report and second team honors from the Football Writers Association of America (FWAA), Sports Illustrated and Sporting News. • Pollard became just the second player in Memphis history to earn Walter Camp First Team All-America honors. He also received first team recognition from the FWAA, Phil Steele and Bleacher Report and was named second team All-American by Sports Illustrated, Sporting News and USA Today. • DB TJ Carter was named to the ESPN.com and USA Today Freshman All-America teams. • Last season, Pollard was named to Freshman All-America teams by USA Today and the FWAA.
West Division Champions

The Liberty Bowl Is A Fortress • For the first time in program history, Memphis recorded an undefeated record (7-0) at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium, which opened in 1965. • The seven home wins is a program record. The Tigers have only three unblemished home records in its history: 1938 (6-0), 1959 (5-0) and 2017 (7-0). The 1963 team went unbeaten at home with a 5-0-1 mark. • This marks the fourth-consecutive season that the Tigers have won five-plus home games. The Tigers won five-plus home games in five-straight seasons from 1959-63.
They’re Pretty Good • QB Riley Ferguson and WR Anthony Miller have created the nation’s most prolific passing combination over the last two seasons. The duo has connected on 30 total TD passes in two seasons, including 13 last season. • The only returning FBS duo to connect on more TD last season was College Football Playoff semifinalist Washington’s Jake Browning and Dante Pettis (15). Ferguson and Miller have moved ahead of Browning and Pettis, who have seven TD this season to bring their total to 22. • Another high-scoring QB-WR combo from the last two years is Oklahoma State’s Mason Rudolph and James Washington (21). • Over the last two seasons, Ferguson and Miller have connected on 183 hook-ups for 2,758 yards and 30 TD.
Records? He Has Them All • WR Anthony Miller is the Memphis all-time leading receiver with 234 receptions for 3,535 career receiving yards and 36 TD. Miller surpassed Duke Calhoun’s (2006-09) receiving total of 2,981 yards and 212 receptions. • Miller holds every major receiving record at Memphis – career: receptions (234), yards (3,535) TD (36) and 100-yard receiving games (17); season: receptions (95), yards (1,434), TD (17) and 100-yard receiving games (8); game: receptions (15), yards (250) and TD (4).
Don’t Kick It To Him • Tony Pollard leads the nation in kickoff return TD (4) and kickoff return average (42.4) after he went 100 yards for a score against ECU Nov. 25. The kickoff return TD is Pollard’s fourth of the season and the sixth of his career. • Pollard, a sophomore, is closing in on the NCAA records for kick returns for TD in a season and career. The season mark is five set by Tulsa’s Ashlan Davis in 2004, and the career record is seven by Clemson’s C.J. Spiller (2006-09), Houston’s Tyron Carrier (2008-11) and San Diego State’s Rashaad Penny (2014-17). • Pollard is one of only two active FBS players with six or more career kickoff return TD.
Tremendous Trio • For the first time in program history, Memphis has a 3,000-yard passer, a 1,000-yard rusher and a 1,000-yard receiver in the same season. The Tigers are one of just six FBS teams to surpass these marks this season. • QB Riley Ferguson has passed for 3,971 yards, which stands as the most in a season in program history. RB Darrell Henderson has 1,154 rushing yards and is the Tigers first 1,000-yard back since 2009. WR Anthony Miller is the first Tiger to ever record multiple 1,000-yard receiving seasons. Miller has 1,407 yards and 17 TD.
Quick-Strike Offense • The Memphis offense is known for moving fast. Really fast.

The Tigers shortest drive of the season lasted just three seconds, while the longest was 7:23, both at UConn. • The Tigers can also go a long way in a short amount of time.

DECEMBER 30, 2017 LIBERTY BOWL MEMORIAL STADIUM / MEMPHIS, TENN. Own The Football
• Over the last two seasons, the Memphis defense is one of the nation’s most opportunistic units, forcing opponents to turn the ball over 29 times in 2016 and 30 times in 2017. • The 30 turnovers this season ranks second nationally. The Tigers' 14 fumble recoveries is tied for fourth nationally and the 16 interceptions ranks 11th. • Freshman DB TJ Carter set a Memphis freshman record with five interceptions and was ultimately tabbed as The American Rookie of the Year and a USA Today and ESPN.com Freshman All-American. • The Memphis team has done a great job of owning the football, ranking fifth nationally in turnover margin at +14. Memphis has had a +22 turnover margin in the last two seasons, a combined total that ranks the Tigers tied for fifth in the nation.
The Freshman
• PK Riley Patterson had big shoes to fill when becoming Memphis’ primary kicker after the illustrious career of PK Jake Elliott. Elliott finished his career as the program's all-time leading scorer and now kicks in the NFL. • Patterson enters the bowl game with 61 made PAT, just two shy of matching Elliott’s single-season record set in 2015. Prior to this season, Elliott had the top three spots at 63 PAT in 2015, 58 PAT in 2016, and 57 PAT in 2014. • Although Patterson fell victim to the Tigers’ first missed PAT since 2012 (a streak of 214 consecutive successful PAT), he and P Spencer Smith have started a new streak of 69 consecutive made PAT. Patterson has 57 of those which ranks fifth all-time. • With 88 total points scored for the Tigers this season (61 PAT/9 FG), Patterson ranks eighth all-time.
Weathering The Storm
• Memphis has had some unusual run-ins with weather this season – playing ULM in tropical storm conditions from the remnants of Hurricane Harvey, rescheduling its early-season game with UCF because of Hurricane Irma and even defeating the Golden Hurricane of Tulsa. • The Tigers have become familiar with tropical cyclones, or Hurricanes, and will now face the Iowa State Cyclones in the AutoZone Liberty Bowl. • Memphis defeated ULM in the season-opener despite the weather, which contributed to QB Riley Ferguson throwing for just 97 yards. Ferguson went on to pass for a program-best 3,971 yards this season. The Tigers also played in cold and wet conditions against Tulane this season, but rolled to a 56-26 win.
So Long, Coach Dickey
• Longtime Memphis assistant coach Darrell Dickey has left the school to become the offensive coordinator at Texas A&M, effective immediately. • Dickey spent a total of nine seasons at Memphis, including the last six under both Justin Fuente and Mike Norvell. He also served as the offensive coordinator at Memphis from 1986-89. • The last four seasons have been some of the best in program history, especially offensively. Dickey has helped guide the Tigers to numerous records, including the four highest scoring teams in program history.
Four Years, 37 Victories
• With 10 wins this season, the 2017 seniors have produced the most wins by a four-year class in program history. The 2017 seniors passed the 1963 seniors. The 2017 seniors have a 37-13 record, and the 1963 seniors went 33-5-1. • The 37 wins since 2014 make this Tigers’ senior class only the fifth to win 30 or more games in a four-year period in program history. The Tigers’ 1950 senior class was the first to win 30 games. The other teams to win at least 30 games in a four-year span are: 1962 (30 wins), 1963 (33 wins) and 1964 (30 wins). • Memphis’ eight wins in 2016 ensured that the Tigers 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). • 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. The 19 total wins during 2014-15 are the most ever in a two-year stretch in Memphis history. • Memphis tied the program record with its seventh conference win this season. The Tigers won seven league games in their second season in the American Athletic Conference in 2014. That squad also won a share of the American Athletic Conference title.
18 Wins
• Mike Norvell recorded his 18th career win, surpassing head coach Richard Williamson (1975-80) for the most wins in the first two seasons as head coach of the Tigers. Williamson won 14 games in his first two seasons as head coach. • Norvell’s current .720 winning percentage is higher than any other head coach in Memphis history. Allyn McKeen produced a .684 winning percentage as head coach from 1937-38.
TOM III Is A Winner
• Memphis’ live Bengal Tiger mascot, TOM III, attended his first game at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium as a cub in 2008 and starting with the 2009 season hasn’t missed a game. In 58 games attended, TOM III has produced a 31-27 record at the Liberty Bowl. • Born Aug. 31, 2008, TOM III arrived in Memphis on Oct. 23 and attended his first game Nov. 22 against UCF at the Liberty Bowl. Since his arrival in Memphis, the Tigers have gone 52-64 (.448) overall. • TOM III’s predecessors did not have the same level of on-field success. The university’s first live mascot, TOM, recorded an 85-119-6 (.405) record from 1972-91. Starting in 1992, TOM II patrolled the sidelines and saw Memphis produce an 84-108 (.438) mark until his passing in 2008. • Memphis celebrated TOM III’s ninth birthday during the season-opening win on Aug. 31 against ULM. • TOM III was raised by a proud Memphis Tiger, Scott Forman, who has attended 231-consecutive Memphis football games since 1999.

300-300 Club
• Prior to Memphis’ Nov. 18 win over SMU, the Tigers had never had a single game in which they passed for 300-plus yards and rushed for 300-plus yards. Then the Tigers accomplished it in consecutive games. • The Tigers’ 664 total offensive yards vs. SMU – 333 rushing and 331 passing – are the third-most in a game by the Tigers. Memphis followed that up with 635 total yards vs. ECU – 333 rushing and 302 passing – for just the 11th game with 600-plus yards in program history • In the SMU win, the Tigers rushed for 333 yards on 46 carries and tied a program record with seven rushing TD. The 333 yards is the most since Memphis rushed for 379 yards on 66 carries against Tulane in 2008. • RB Darrell Henderson and RB Patrick Taylor each rushed for over 100 yards and two scores apiece in backto-back games. • Memphis set a program record with 753 yards of offense vs. UCF in the American Athletic Conference Championship. In that game, Memphis passed for 471 yards and rushed for 282.
Freshman Stealing the Show
• DB TJ Carter’s five INT this season are the most in program history by a Tiger freshman. Johnnie Walker recorded four INT as a freshman in 1982, and Eric Harris had four INT in 1973. • Carter this season has seven total takeaways individually (5 INT/2 fumble). • Carter's play did not go unnoticed, as he was named the American Athletic Conference Rookie of the Year and selected to the ESPN.com and USA Today Freshman All-America teams.
Dynamic Receiving Duo
• Former walk-ons WR Phil Mayhue and WR Anthony Miller have formed an elite pass-catching duo at Memphis and rank among the most prolific in the nation. • Mayhue has hauled in 138 career receptions for 2,025 yards and nine TD, while Miller has 234 catches for 3,535 yards and 36 TD. • The 372 combined receptions are the third-most by any active receiving duo in the FBS. Syracuse wideouts Ervin Philips (223), Steve Ishmael (219) lead the nation with 442 combined catches.
The Turnaround
• The University of Memphis has engineered one of the most remarkable turnarounds of an FBS program in recent memory. Prior to the recent four-year stretch that began in 2014, the Tigers football program produced just three winning seasons in a 19-year span from 1995-2013, and further, the program had only nine winning seasons in the 36-year period from 1978-2013. • The Tigers have put together four-consecutive winning seasons, which hasn’t been accomplished since the 1970s when Memphis had five-straight winnings seasons from 1973-77.
Weeknight Warriors
• With the Nov. 3 win over Tulsa, Memphis improved its record to 14-0 when playing a regular-season, non-Saturday game since 2014. Eight of those 14 victories have come on the road. • The Tigers are 5-0 in non-Saturday games in 2017 with wins over ULM, UConn, Houston, Tulane and Tulsa. • Memphis has four Thursday wins and 10 Friday wins during this stretch.
Three-Straight Ranked Wins
• The Oct. 14 win over No. 25/24 Navy marked the first time in program history that Memphis has beaten two ranked teams in the same season. The Tigers knocked off No. 25 UCLA earlier this season. • The win also marked the first time in program history that the Tigers have recorded three-straight wins over nationally-ranked opponents. Memphis ended the 2016 regular season with a 48-44 win over No. 18/21 Houston.
Another Historic Scoring Output
• Under head coach Mike Norvell, Memphis has had its two highest scoring games in the modern era of the program. Last year, the Tigers exploded for a 77-3 win over Bowling Green, and this season Memphis rolled to a 70-31 win at UConn. • Memphis’ 70-point outburst was only the fourth time in program history the Tigers scored 70 or more points in a game. The other three times came in 2016 (77 points vs. Bowling Green), 1950 (76 points vs. Memphis Navy) and 1949 (70 points vs. Tampa). • The Tigers racked up what was then a school single-game record 711 yards of total offense vs. UConn. The 700-yard offensive output is one of three in program history. • The Tigers snapped 100 plays vs. UConn. The 100 plays are the second-most for a game in program history. The school single-game record is 108 snaps in a triple-overtime win vs. SMU in 2007. • WR Anthony Miller caught a program single-game record four TD passes in the Oct. 6 game. QB Riley Ferguson threw a school single-game tying record seven TD passes.
Program Defining Win
• Memphis head coach Mike Norvell described the 30-27 win over No. 25/24 Navy as a program-defining game. The Midshipmen had represented a stumbling block for the Tigers the past two seasons, snapping an 8-0 start in 2015 and handing the Tigers their second loss last season. • Navy, the defending American Athletic Conference West Division champion, had spent parts of the last two seasons in and out of the rankings and posted five-straight seasons of eight-plus wins. • In the win, the Tigers finished +4 in the turnover battle against the Midshipmen. The five turnovers were the most this season by Navy and the most since committing six turnovers against Boston College in 2002. • Memphis executed its defensive game plan to perfection, holding Navy to 314 rushing yards. The Midshipmen entered the game with the nation’s top rushing offense, averaging 414.2 yards per game.

The Workhorse
• RB Darrell Henderson is the first Tiger to rush for 1,000 yards in a season since Curtis Steele did so in 2009 (1,239 yards). Henderson has 1,154 yards this season, which is the sixth-most for a season in school history. He is only the eighth player in program history to rush for 1,000 yards in a season. • Henderson's 8.88 yards per carry is second in the FBS and first among running backs this season. The program record for yards per carry in a season is 7.6 by Paul Wilson in 1971. • The sophomore has rushed for 100-plus yards in five-consecutive games and seven times overall this season. The seven 100-yard rushing games is tied for fourth-most in program history.
Explosive Sophomores
• Darrell Henderson is joined by fellow sophomore Patrick Taylor Jr. as the Tigers leading rushers this season. Taylor has 798 rushing yards and 13 TD on 140 carries. Taylor’s 13 rushing TD are the most since Curtis Steele’s 15 in 2009. • Taylor, a native Texan, rushed for a school-record tying four TD at Houston Oct. 19. He now has 13 TD this season and 15 in his career. • Henderson is the Tigers’ greatest big-play threat this season, with a team-high eight offensive plays of 40-plus yards. He has seven rushes longer than 50 yards, including three rushes 70-plus yards. • Henderson exploded for a career-long 82-yard rush in the win over Tulane, his second 80-plus yard carry of the season. The rush was the longest by a Tiger since DeAngelo Williams had an 86-yard carry against Tulane in 2002. • Four times this season, both Henderson and Taylor have rushed for more than 100 yards in the same game – vs. ULM (8/31), vs. SMU (11/18), vs. ECU (11/25) and at UCF (12/1). • Behind Henderson and Taylor, the Tigers have rushed for 300-plus yards three times this season. • Fellow sophomore Tony Pollard has made his mark in the kickoff return game, averaging 42.4 yards per return. He has returned four kickoffs for TD this season and six in his career. Pollard grabbed nine catches for 91 yards vs. Houston, both career-bests.

Big Play Duo
• On the Tigers’ first play from scrimmage vs. ECU Nov. 25, QB Riley Ferguson connected with WR Anthony Miller for an 89-yard TD pass. It is the fifth-longest pass and fifth-longest TD pass in program history. • For a duo that has made a living on big plays, the 89-yard pass play was the career-long for both Ferguson (pass) and Miller (reception). The previous-long for both was 84 yards vs. Kansas in 2016 (Sept. 17).
Scoring In Memphis
• Memphis has eclipsed the 500-point mark for the third-consecutive season, and just the third time in program history. The 2017 Tigers have set the program’s single-season mark with 572 points scored. • The Tigers have scored 40-plus points in six-straight games and in nine games overall this season. • Memphis has scored more than 400 points in four-straight seasons, which represent the Tigers' top-four scoring seasons in program history.
In The Trenches
• An experienced offensive line has been key to the success of the Tigers prolific offense. Memphis has seen the same five starters for 11-of-12 games – LT Trevon Tate, LG Dustin Woodard, C Drew Kyser, RG Gabe Kuhn and RT Roger Joseph. • The O-Line has been effective protecting QB Riley Ferguson this season, ranking in the top-20 in the FBS in sacks allowed with 1.25 a game. Last season, the Tigers were among the worst in the FBS at protecting the QB, allowing 2.69 sacks per game. • The only senior, Kuhn, made his 50th career start in the American Athletic Conference Championship at UCF. Kuhn is the first Tiger in program history to start 50 games.

36-Plus
• Memphis finished fifth in the nation with 29 takeaways last season, and the Tigers set a lofty goal for themselves this season: to post 36 or more takeaways and lead the nation in that category. • The Tigers have 30 takeaways (16 INT/14 fumbles), which is tied for second nationally. • In 2016, Memphis recorded 13 INT and 16 fumble recoveries.
Startin’ ‘Em Young
• In the Aug. 31 season opener against ULM, DB TJ Carter became the first true freshman to start a season opener in the Memphis defensive backfield since 2011. Bakari Hollier started the first game of his career against Mississippi State in 2011. • Carter, from Nashville, made four tackles and recovered a fumble in his Tigers debut against ULM and followed that up with seven tackles and his first career INT against UCLA. Carter is the Tigers’ fifth-leading tackler with 61 stops and leads the team in INT (5) and fumble recoveries (2). • Carter this season has seven total takeaways individually (5 INT/2 fumble). • Carter’s five INT are the most by a Tiger freshman in program history. Johnnie Walker recorded four INT as a freshman in 1982, and Eric Harris had four INT in 1973. • Carter's play did not go unnoticed, as he was named the American Athletic Conference Rookie of the Year and selected to the ESPN.com and USA Today Freshman All-America teams.
Executing the Game Plan
• Memphis took a big step forward defensively this season, posting wins over three of the nation’s top-20 rushing offenses. Last season, the Tigers struggled against teams who effectively ran the ball. • Prior to this seasons’ win over Navy, there was one key statistic that separated Memphis’ 12 wins from its six losses under head coach Mike Norvell: opponents rushing yardage. • In the wins, the defense held opponents to less than 200 yards rushing. Meanwhile in the losses, teams rushed for more than 250 yards each and at least two scores. • The Memphis defense shined in the program’s first win over Navy Oct. 14. The Midshipmen had represented a stumbling block for the Tigers the past two seasons, rushing for an average 410 yards and four-plus TD. • The Tigers held Navy to 314 rushing yards, well below the Mids’ season average of 414.2 yards per game. • Memphis finished +4 in the turnover battle against Navy. The five turnovers were the most this season by Navy and the most since committing six turnovers against Boston College in 2002. • DB Austin Hall had a banner day with two INT, a fumble recovery and 10 total tackles. • Memphis has also picked up wins over Tulane and Tulsa, holding both teams to 100 yards below their season rushing averages.
Next Man Up
• Three of Memphis’ defensive starters in the season-opener endured season-ending injuries, while three other players on the Week 1 depth chart are also out for the season. The Tigers have been forced to adopt a “Next Man Up” mentality and play several inexperienced players in big roles. • Numerous freshmen have been forced into the spotlight this season – DL O'Bryan Goodson and LB Tim Hart have each made nine starts, DB Josh Perry has started the last five games and DB Tyrez Lindsey started four games.
Linebackers from Grenada
• Genard Avery and Shareef White, both from Grenada, Miss., entered their senior seasons with a wealth of experience and the pair are bringing along a new face from their hometown this season, freshman JJ Russell. • Avery is the Tigers’ third-leading tackler with 75 stops and he holds the team lead with 19.5 TFL and 6.5 sacks. • White has 45 tackles and six TFL this season. • Both linebackers were all-state players in high school before coming to Memphis and playing in all 13 games as freshmen in 2014. The tandem helped the Tigers win the American Athletic Conference crown, the program’s first league title since 1971. • Russell was invited to the Mississippi-Alabama All-Star game after a senior campaign which saw him record 123 tackles, five sacks, two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries.

Pollard Flips The Script
• Memphis has gone wild since snapping a 233-game streak from 1996-2016 without returning a kickoff for a TD. The Tigers ended that streak in a big way in 2016, taking three kickoffs to the house. That run has continued this season with four more kickoff return TD. No other team has returned a kickoff for a touchdown more than Memphis has in the last two years. • In the 50 seasons from 1947-96, Memphis had just 12 kickoff return TD. Then the Tigers endured the 20-year drought leading up to last season. Now, in the last 20 games, Memphis has returned seven kickoffs for TD. • Tony Pollard was the architect of the momentous kickoff return that ended the streak, going 95 yards for the score against Temple on Oct. 6, 2016. • Pollard did it again two games later, returning a kickoff 100 yards for a TD against Navy. Darrell Henderson got in on the action two weeks later at SMU, returning a kickoff 99-yards for a TD. • The three kickoff return TD in 2016 are the most in a single season in program history. Memphis had two in 1983 when Jerry Harris (vs. Southern Miss) and Charles Greenhill (vs. Cincinnati) both had kickoff returns for TD. • Against ULM in the 2017 season opener, Pollard returned the opening kickoff of the second half 99 yards for his third career return TD. In the Sept. 23 Southern Illinois game, Pollard went 100 yards for a TD for the second time in his career. He did it again Oct. 19 at Houston with a 93-yard TD return. • Pollard's latest kickoff return TD (vs. ECU Nov. 25) may have been the most impressive. He received the kick deep in the endzone and broke several tackles on the way to his third career 100-yard return. • Before the 2016 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.
Five Awards, Five Tiger Winners
• There have been five American Athletic Conference Special Teams Player of the Year winners in the league’s history, and all five have been Memphis Tigers. • Redshirt freshman Tony Pollard is the reigning back-to-back winner of the award as one of the top kick returners in the nation and the American Athletic Conference. • PK Jake Elliott won The American Special Teams Player of the Year award in 2014 and 2015, and P Tom Hornsey earned the inaugural award in 2013.
Flipping the Field
• 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. • Smith has played in 51 career games and has punted 167 times for a career 43.4 average. He has the fifthmost punts (167) and fourth-highest average (43.4) in school history. He has had no punts blocked and has 45 punts of 50-plus yards and 46 punts inside the 20. • This season Smith has added to his role, handling a portion of the FG, PAT and kickoffs. Smith is a perfect 3-of3 on FG, 13-of-13 on PAT and has kicked off 74 times. • In 2016, Smith led the American Athletic Conference with an average of 45.1 yards per punt on 45 punts. His punting average would have ranked seventh in the FBS, but his 3.4 attempts per game were under the FBS minimum (3.6 attempts) to appear among the national leaders. • Smith’s career-long punt is a 72-yarder vs. Cincinnati in 2015. Last season he booted the second-longest punt of his career, a 63 yarder in a road win at Tulane. • Smith’s 54 yards per punt average on two punts vs. Southern Illinois set a Memphis single-game record (for two or more punts). • 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).
Designated Short-Field Punter
• In his career, Nick Jacobs has punted 66 times for a 37.8 average. • A master of the short punt, 50 of Jacobs’ 66 punts have been downed inside the opponents’ 20-yard line. • In the American Athletic Conference Championship, Jacobs uncorked the longest punt of his career of 55 yards. All six of his punts over 50 yards have come this season. • Last season against Kansas, Jacobs had all three of his punts downed inside the 20-yard line. Jacobs and Spencer Smith combined for five punts inside the 20-yard line against Kansas.

Before a monsoon-soaked crowd of 10,263 at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium, Memphis used big play after big play to build a lead over the visiting Warhawks and then held on for the non-conference victory. It was Memphis’ fourth-straight season/home opening win. With the deteriorating weather conditions, Tigers head coach Mike Norvell’s normal high-flying air attack took to the ground and piled up over 300 rushing yards. The 319 yards is the first 300-yard rushing performance by Louisiana Monroe 29 the Tigers since they ran for 317 yards Memphis 37 vs. Missouri State in the 2015 season opener. Liberty bowl Memorial Stadium The Darrell Henderson-Patrick Taylor Jr. tandem accounted for most of the rushing yardage with 169 and 132 yards, respectively, and both were career rushing bests. The duo combined for three rushing touchdowns (Henderson 2; Taylor 1). Henderson (63 yards) and Taylor (66 yards) also had career-long rushes in the victory. The Tigers led 20-7 at the break and broke the game open on the second half opening kickoff. After returning two kicks for scores in 2016, Tony Pollard did it again for his school-record third kick return for a score. Pollard took the opening kickoff of the second half and went 99 yards for the score and a 27-7 Memphis lead. Pollard’s 99-yard kick return was the second-longest in program history (the longest is Pollard’s 100-yard return at Navy in 2016).

Game 2 // September 16 // vs. UCLA Oops, the University of Memphis football team did it again. For the third season in a row, the Tigers used the same recipe to craft an upset. Home game at the Liberty Bowl: ü An 11 a.m. Saturday morning kickoff: ü A ranked opponent: ü A national TV audience on ABC: ü A Memphis victory: ü In a quarterback shootout battle for the ages, Tigers signal-caller Riley Ferguson stayed step-for-step with UCLA’s Josh Rosen in leading the home squad to a 48-45 upset victory over the No. 25 Bruins. Memphis won the game before a crowd of 46,291 at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium. Ferguson finished the contest with No. 25 UCLA 45 398 yards and a career-high tying six Memphis 48 touchdown passes. Rosen was just as Liberty bowl Memorial Stadium good, throwing for 463 yards and four scores. It is the third year in a row that Memphis has pulled an upset over a ranked foe in the Liberty Bowl. In 2014, the Tigers defeated No. 12 Ole Miss 37-24. Last season, Memphis posted a come-from-behind 48-44 win over No. 18 Houston at home. Today, and for a third-straight year, the Tigers recorded a win over a ranked opponent – No. 25 UCLA –at home. And, all three games were televised to a national audience on ABC. The contest was a back-and-forth affair all afternoon with six lead changes, including two in the final quarter.

MEMPHIS VS. IOWA STATE / AUTOZONE LIBERTY BOWL GAME 13
Game 3 // September 23 // vs. Southern illinois
Game 4 // September 30 // at UCF
It wasn’t the easiest. It wasn’t the smoothest. And, it may not have been the prettiest Homecoming game in University of Memphis program history. But, it did go down as a win. The Tigers overcame a slow start and used an electrifying Tony Pollard second-half kick return for a touchdown to propel the home squad to a 44-31 victory over Southern Illinois Saturday night. Memphis posted the win before a Homecoming crowd of 41,548 at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium. The Tigers improved to 3-0 in 2017. Southern Illinois fell to 2-1. It is the second-straight season that Memphis started a campaign with a 3-0 record. For a second-straight week, Tigers quarterback Riley Ferguson was in a Southern Illinois 31 shootout, this time with the Salukis’ Memphis 44 Sam Straub. Ferguson passed for 288 yards and two scores, and on the other Liberty bowl Memorial Stadium side, Straub was just as prolific with 290 yards and four touchdowns. The Tigers were down 21-17 at halftime. Southern Illinois outgained Memphis in total yards (241-200) in the opening half and held the ball over 18 minutes (18:05). The Salukis also converted 6-of-10 third-down conversions in the first half. The momentum shifted to the Tigers’ side after the break. Memphis used a 10-0 run to grab a lead it did not lose the remainder of the contest. Southern Illinois answered with a touchdown with five minutes remaining, but Memphis wrapped up the victory on a Patrick Taylor Jr. six-yard touchdown scamper with just over a minute left.
In a rescheduled game from the Sept. 8-9 weekend, the University of Memphis football team fell to UCF 4013 at Spectrum Stadium. It was the Knights’ 10-straight win the series. The UCF defense forced four Tigers turnovers and held the Memphis offense to 396 total yards in posting a victory in the American Athletic Conference opener for both teams. UCF had over 600 yards of total offense and dominated the time of possession, holding on to the ball for over 37 minutes. UCF struck first on its opening possession with a 17-play, 92-yard touchdown drive. The Knights held the ball for nearly seven minutes. UCF attempted a two-point conversion, but was unsuccessful. Memphis answered quickly on its Memphis 13 first possession of the game, moving 40 the ball 71 yards in just under three UCF Spectrum stadium minutes. The Tigers scored on a twoyard Patrick Taylor Jr. run, and with a Spencer Smith PAT, took a 7-6 lead. The game had a back-and-forth change of possessions over the remainder of the first quarter until UCF broke the game’s 11:26 scoreless stretch with a 28-yard FG to grab a 9-7 lead with 8:29 left before halftime. The Knights broke the game open in the first half’s final five minutes. After a Memphis punt pinned UCF inside its own 10-yard line, the Knights scored on their first play of the drive. Following a UCF penalty, Adrian Killins Jr. ran 96 yards for a score and a 16-7 UCF lead. Then after a Knights interception, the UCF offense was set up with a short field and took advantage of it. The Knights scored a touchdown on a 34-yard pass from McKenzie Milton to Tre’Quan Smith for a 23-7 lead at the break.

Game 5 // October 6 // at UCONN
Game 6 // OCtober 14 // Vs. Navy
Talk about a “bounce-back” performance. After a suffering its first loss of 2017 less than a week ago, the University of Memphis football squad hit on all cylinders in its 70-31 American Athletic Conference win over Connecticut. The contest was played before a crowd of 19,230 at Pratt & Whitney Stadium. Those in attendance at the contest saw school record-tying efforts from Tigers quarterback Riley Ferguson and wide receiver Anthony Miller. Ferguson tied a program single-game record with seven touchdown tosses, and Miller tied his own single-game receptions mark with 15 catches. Miller also set a school single-game record with four touchdown receptions. Ferguson tied Paxton Lynch’s reMemphis 70 cord of seven scoring passes. Lynch had seven touchdown strikes in the 2015 UConn 31 regular-season finale win over SMU. Pratt & Whitney Stadium at Rentschler Field Miller first set his own single-game receptions record with 15 catches in the 2016 regular-season finale victory over No. 18/21 Houston. In fact, the entire Memphis offense got into the “setting-record” act. The Tigers racked up a school-record 711 yards of total offense. It is the second 700-yard total offense game in program history and the second in the last three seasons (704 yards at Tulsa in 2015). Memphis also snapped 100 plays, which is only the second time in program history that the Tigers had 100 plays in a game. The Tigers ran 108 plays in a 2007 contest against SMU. The quarterback tandem of Ferguson and David Moore combined for 480 yards passing, also a school single-game team record. The previous team passing record was 447 yards at Tulsa in 2015.
If you were one of the 40,177 at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium Oct. 14, you, once again, witnessed University of Memphis football history. With its thrilling 30-27 victory over No. 25/24 Navy, the Tigers won its second game over a ranked opponent in 2017. It is the first time in program history Memphis posted two wins over ranked foes in a season. Earlier this season, the Tigers upset No. 25 UCLA 48-45 at the Liberty Bowl. Coming into Saturday’s game, all the talk was about the two teams’ offenses. However, it was the defenses that shined. The Memphis and Navy offenses combined to average over 1,000 yards per game, but the Tigers and Midshipmen defenses stepped up to the challenge and held both offenses No. 24 Navy 27 to under 400 yards each (Memphis, 397 Memphis 30 yards; Navy, 334 yards). Liberty Bowl Memorial stadium The Tigers defense played especially strong, holding the Midshipmen to 314 yards on the ground. Navy’s rushing output Saturday was 100 yards below its season average (414.2 yds/game). Memphis also forced Navy into five turnovers (3 fumbles/2 interceptions), the most Midshipmen miscues in a game since 2002 (Oct. 19, 2002, six total turnovers vs. Boston College). The leaders for the Memphis defense were Curtis Akins, Genard Avery and Austin Hall. The trio combined for 31 of the team’s 80 total tackles. Akins and Hall each logged a fumble recovery, and Hall picked off two Zach Abey passes, including the one that sealed the victory with 1:42 left in the game.

MEMPHIS VS. IOWA STATE / AUTOZONE LIBERTY BOWL GAME 13
Game 7 // October 19 // at Houston
Game 8 // OCtober 27 // vs. Tulane
A shoot-out was expected in Houston. The script, though, is one many Tigers fans would have preferred not to go through. In a game that will go down as one of the largest comebacks in University of Memphis football history, the Tigers spotted American Athletic Conference West Division rival Houston a 17-0 halftime lead and then outscored the Cougars 42-21 in the second half for a dramatic 42-38 victory. The pivotal West Division showdown was played before 30,001 at TDECU Stadium. The win improved the Tigers to 6-1 overall and 3-1 in the American Athletic Conference. With its last two victories over Navy and Houston, Memphis now owns the tie-breaker with both if the No. 25 Memphis 42 division is decided in that fashion at Houston 38 season’s end. Houston fell to 4-3 overall and 2-2 in the league. The win is MemTDECU STadium phis’ first in Houston since 2005. To win a game in this manner, a team needs a herculean effort and timely plays. The Tigers got both versus the Cougars. Memphis quarterback Riley Ferguson threw for a school-record 471 yards and one touchdown. He accounted for 465 of the team’s 501 total yards (471 passing/-6 rushing). In addition, Patrick Taylor Jr. rushed for a program-record four touchdowns, including his final one with 5:14 left to put the Tigers in position to finish the comeback. The Tigers also came up with big plays to propel them to victory. The first was Tony Pollard’s 93-yard kick return for a score to cut the Houston lead to 24-14. The kick-return touchdown is Pollard’s third of the season and the fifth of his career.
The cold and rain could not place a damper on the University of Memphis football celebration at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium Friday night. The Tigers reveled not only because their 56-26 American Athletic Conference win over Tulane improved the season record to 7-1 overall, but the victory also made the 2017 seniors the winningest four-year class in program history with their 34th win (34-13 record). The 2017 four-year seniors surpassed the previous record of 33 wins by the 1963 four-year class (1960-63; 33-5-1 record). Memphis rolled out to a 35-0 lead and held off a Green Wave rally to secure the win. The victory kept the Tigers at the top of the conference’s West Divi- Tulane 26 sion with a 4-1 league mark. NO. 24 Memphis 56 While the Tigers offense cranked Liberty Bowl Memorial stadium out big plays in the first half to build its advantage, the Memphis defense rose to the occasion throughout the contest. The Tigers defense held Tulane to 122 yards rushing, the Green Wave’s lowest ground output of the season (previous low was 191 yards at Navy Sept. 9). Memphis tied a school record for sacks (7) and set season-highs for TFL (13), sack yardage (52) and TFL yardage (73). The Tigers defense also got into the scoring mix in the fourth quarter when Austin Hall fell on a fumble in the end zone.

Game 9 // November 3 // at Tulsa
Game 10 // November 18 // vs. SMU
And, so the climb continues. Behind a second-half shutout thrown by the defense and steady performances from Riley Ferguson and Darrell Henderson, the University of Memphis football took another step toward claiming the American Athletic Conference West Division title with a 41-14 road victory at Tulsa Friday night. With the win, Memphis continues to control its own destiny in the league’s West Division with a 5-1 conference mark and an 8-1 overall record. The Tigers now take their “officially” scheduled bye week Nov. 11 before returning to action for its final two games of the season, with both at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium. The first of the two home games is Nov. 18 against SMU, No. 22/21 Memphis 41 which is just behind the Tigers in the tulsa 14 West Division standings with a 3-1 record. H.A. Chapman STadium Ferguson threw for four touchdowns – each to a different receiver – and 298 yards and no interceptions. Henderson logged his second-straight 100yard rushing game, this time amassing 123 yards on 14 carries. In last week’s win over Tulane, Henderson had 112 yards. But, it was the defense that shined at H.A. Chapman Stadium Friday, especially in the second half. After giving up nearly 250 yards of total offense in the opening half, the Tigers defense clamped down on the Golden Hurricane after halftime. Memphis held Tulsa to no points and 59 total yards on 26 offensive plays for a 2.3 yards-per-play average in the third and fourth periods. Memphis allowed five or fewer yards on four of Tulsa’s six second-half possessions, including three 3-andouts.
Say it, Tiger Nation, say it. The University of Memphis is your American Athletic Conference West Division champion! A week-long forecast of rain and a 57-minute lightning delay were not going to halt the Tigers’ CLIMB to the divisional title at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium Saturday. Senior quarterback Riley Ferguson threw for over 300 yards and the Tigers’ ground attack – led by Darrell Henderson and Patrick Taylor Jr. – paced Memphis to a 66-45 victory before a home crowd of 35,329 that braved the elements. The Tigers secured not only The American West Division title but also a spot in the league’s championship game Dec. 2. Memphis faces the winner of the Nov. 24 USF-UCF contest, and SMU 45 the site of the title game is to be deterNo. 17/18 Memphis 66 mined. Championship game time is 11 Liberty Bowl Memorial stadium a.m. (CT) on ABC (LocalMemphis24). However, before the title game, Memphis wraps up its 2017 campaign with a home contest against ECU Saturday, Nov. 25. Game time is 11 a.m. (CT) at the Liberty Bowl. Prior to kickoff, Senior Day festivities will take place, honoring this year’s class of 21 seniors. With a win over the Pirates, Memphis would post its 10th win in a regular season for only the second time in school history. The 1938 team is the last Tigers squad to win 10 games in a regular season. The 2015 team won 10 games, but its 10th victory came in the Miami Beach Bowl.

MEMPHIS VS. IOWA STATE / AUTOZONE LIBERTY BOWL GAME 13
Game 11 // November 25 // Vs. ECU
AAC Championship // December 2 // at UCF
Wow, what a way to send your seniors off! On a beautiful fall Saturday afternoon (finally!) at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium, the University of Memphis football team overwhelmed ECU early on the way to a 70-13 American Athletic Conference victory. The game was the regular-season home finale for the Tigers, including 21 seniors. The senior class wrapped up its career with a perfect 7-0 home record in 2017. It is the first time the Tigers posted an undefeated home record at the Liberty Bowl. It is only the third time in program history that Memphis posted an unblemished home mark. The other two times were in 1938 (6-0) and 1959 (5-0). The seniors also improved their ECU 13 No. 17/16 Memphis 70 school-record win total to 37 over the last four seasons (37-13 record). Liberty Bowl Memorial stadium The 2017 Tigers also became only the second team in program history to win 10 games in a regular season, tying the mark by the 1938 squad (10-0 record). The 2015 Tigers won 10 games, but that squad’s 10th victory came in the Miami Beach Bowl. While many contributed to the win, the seniors set the tone early. Memphis seniors scored four of the first five touchdowns to give the Tigers a 35-0 lead just three minutes into the second quarter. Seniors Anthony Miller (pass from Riley Ferguson), Jonathan Cook (interception return), Phil Mayhue (pass from Ferguson) and Doroland Dorceus (19-yard run) all found the end zone in Memphis’ early-scoring barrage.
No, Tiger Nation, it wasn't the outcome we wanted. But, Tiger Nation, you should only be bursting with pride for your University of Memphis football team. Proud of the way the Tigers played. Proud of their fight. Proud of their desire. And yes, proud of the way the team represented your city, the city of Memphis! The Tigers fell just short in their quest for the American Athletic Conference Championship with a 62-55 double-overtime loss at UCF at Spectrum Stadium. The game was the highest-scoring championship game in Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) history. The two teams combined for 1,479 yards, the most for an FBS game in 2017. The Tigers piled up school-record 753 yards of total offense in the set- No. 16/14 Memphis 55 back. Getting lost among the offensive 62 numbers was the clutch play of the Ti- No. 12/11 UCF Spectrum Stadium gers defense. Memphis forced four UCF turnovers, including three interceptions. Two of the interceptions halted Knights' drives deep in Memphis territory. The Tigers held a 31-24 halftime lead, but UCF battled back to regain the advantage at 38-34 on a Tre'Quan Smith 34-yard TD pass from McKenzie Milton. UCF then pushed further ahead with the game's next 10 points to build a 48-34 lead five minutes into the fourth quarter. The Tigers, though, did not go away. A Tony Pollard 66-yard TD scamper cut the Knights' lead in half at 48-41 with 9:02 left. After the Memphis defense forced a UCF punt, the Tigers drove 68 yards on seven plays and the drive ended with a 10-yard TD pass from Riley Ferguson to Anthony Miller. The score tied the game at 48-all with 4:13 left and neither team was able to get the game-winning score in regulation.

Burley Bowl • 1956 Memphis State College East Tennessee State
32 12
Memorial Stadium (8,000) November 22, 1956
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 Bowl • 1971 Memphis State San Jose State
28 9
Rose Bowl (104,091) December 18, 1971
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 relinquished. 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 offensive 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.

New Orleans Bowl • 2003 Memphis North Texas

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 30yard 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 unable to 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.

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.

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
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.

Motor City Bowl • 2005 Memphis Akron
38 31 Ford Field (50,616) December 26, 2005
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.

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.

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 has 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 six-yard
scoring connection sliced the Owls’ lead to 30-27 with 9:30 left in the third quarter. However, Florida Atlantic scored the final two touchdowns for the 4427 final. Punter Brent Sutherland set a New Orleans Bowl record with a 70-yard punt in the fourth quarter. He finished the game with six punts for a 45.2 average. Clinton McDonald led the Memphis defense with eight total tackles, while Jeremy Rockette and LaKeitharun Ford each had seven hits. McDonald also had one quarterback sack and two TFL. LeRico Mathis recorded his third interception of the season, tying him for team-high honors with Brandon Patterson.
Quarterback Martin Hankins threw for 281 yards and three touchdowns before leaving the game with an injury.

ST. PETERSBURG BOWL • 2008 Memphis USF
14 41 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 SCORING SUMMARY Memphis USF Attendance: 25,205

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 Miami 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. The Cougars took advantage of three fourth-quarter Memphis turnovers to go from 10 points down to leading 45-38 when Zac Stout returned his interception 19 yards for a score with 7:48 to play. Late in the game and the Tigers trailing by seven, punter Nick Jacobs pinned BYU at its own 4-yard line. A 3-and-out series by the Cougars followed by a short punt and a nine-yard return by Joe Craig gave the Ti-
gers the ball at the BYU 33 with 2:34 left in the fourth quarter. Lynch and Malone first hooked up on a 4th-andseven pass play for a 15-yard pickup to the Cougars 11. Four plays later and facing another fourth down, Lynch scrambled and Malone made a diving catch in the end zone to tie the game at 45-all in the final minute. Trevor Samson kicked a 45-yard field goal to give BYU a 48-45 lead in the first overtime period. After Memphis’ first offensive series in overtime lost 12 yards on three plays, Elliott booted a 54-yard field goal to extend the game to another overtime. In the second overtime period, Malone caught a 15-yard pass on second down, and following a Brandon Hayes’ four-yard run, Lynch found Proctor open in the end zone for the rookie’s first career touchdown reception.

The historic record-breaking season for Memphis ended with a 9-4 overall record and the program’s second-straight bowl game appearance. During the season the team set single-season records with 522 points, 64 touchdowns, 6,331 offensive yards and 322 first downs. The record-breaking season added two more notches to its belt when Memphis recorded its 95th third-down conversion of the season, breaking the previous record set in 2007 and ended with 101 for the season.

the third quarter when the Tigers eclipsed the team 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.

three-consecutive bowl games, with the first stretch being from 2003-05. Miller finished Tuesday’s contest with 151 yards on 11 catches and three touchdowns. Miller’s receptions (11), receiving yards (151) and touchdowns (3) all were Memphis bowl records. His 18 points scored tied another Memphis bowl mark. The three scores also were a career single-game best for Miller. The 100-yard receiving game was the 10th of his career, tying Miller with Duke Calhoun for the most 100-yard performances in program history. The Memphis, Tenn., native wrapped up his season totals with 95 receptions for 1,434 yards and 14 touchdowns. He now holds the top spot on all three single-season receiving charts. For his career, Miller has 142 catches for 2,128 yards and 19 touchdowns. He is on the Memphis career lists for catches (4th), yards (3rd) and touchdowns (2nd). Quarterback Riley Ferguson, who left the game for a series late in the third quarter, returned and ended the game 25-of-43 passing for 372 yards and four touchdowns. Ferguson’s 372 yards is a Tigers bowl record and his four touchdowns tied a school bowl mark. Ferguson now holds the program record for most touchdown tosses in a season with 32. His 372-yard passing performance Tuesday was his seventh 300yard game of 2016. He wrapped up the season with 3,698 passing yards, the second-most for a season in program history. The Tigers jumped out to an early 7-0 lead on their second drive of the game. Ferguson tossed a pass to Tony Pollard in the right flat, and Pollard took it in from 45 yards out for the score. After a Western Kentucky touchdown tied the game at 7-all, Memphis regained the advantage at 10-7 on a Jake Elliott 33-yard field goal. The score capped a nine-play, 59-yard drive.
That, however, was Memphis’ final lead of the contest. The Hilltoppers outscored the Tigers 34-7 over the next two-plus quarters to take a 41-17 advantage and put the contest out of reach. The Tigers managed to cut the Western Kentucky lead to 13 points at 44-31 after two Ferguson-to-Miller touchdown connections. The first was a 10-yard score near the end of the third quarter, and the second was a beautiful 45-yard strike to the back of the end zone in the fourth period. The Hilltoppers responded with a final touchdown with just over two minutes left to secure the bowl victory.
