MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- Paxton Lynch tied the FBS record with seven touchdown passes in a half, and Memphis set single-season records for yards and points in a 63-0 win over SMU on Saturday.

Lynch hit seven different receivers on his scoring passes and finished 9 of 14 for 222 yards -- all in the first half -- as the Tigers raced to a 56-0 lead. His seven passing TDs set an American Conference single-game record, and his 28 passing TDs on the season are best in school history. Lynch's previous single-game high for TD passes was four.
