Anderson's 4 TDs Push Memphis Past North Texas 52-44
American Athletic Conference Logo MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — Mario Anderson Jr. ran for 183 yards and matched a program record with four touchdowns to lead Memphis to a 52-44 victory over North Texas on Saturday night.
Anderson scored from 4- and 5-yards out on back-to-back possessions to give Memphis a 49-38 lead with 5:17 remaining. North Texas answered with Chandler Morris’ 9-yard touchdown pass to Blair Conwright to get the Falcons within 49-44 with 2:48 left.
The Tigers’ Tristian Vandenberg made his only field-goal attempt, a 43-yarder, to end the scoring with 1:42 to play. Morris then led the Falcons to the Memphis 18, but he threw an interception on third-and-10 to end it.
