The Memphis Tigers and North Texas Mean Green both run through the entire gauntlet of emotions Saturday in Denton, TX.
A lopsided first half saw the Tigers secure a 31-7 second quarter lead on the road, appearing well on their way to remain in contention for their first AAC Championship Game appearance since 2019. But as North Texas demonstrated when roaring back from a 21-0 deficit to tie Tulane at 28 apiece last Saturday, the Mean Green are never truly out of a game.
The Tigers reverted to cruise control for the majority of the second half while North Texas manufactured its second consecutive 20+ point comeback.
