What was thought to be an easy win, turned into a closer than expected contest for Memphis Thursday night. The Tigers offense put up 37 points, and did so mostly on the ground. After averaging 159 rushing yards per game last season, Memphis accumulated 319 rushing yards.
With rainy conditions surrounding the game, offense through the air was expected to come at a premium. If you came to watch the Riley Ferguson to Anthony Miller show, you probably left disappointed. Ferguson finished 10-for-25 with just 97 yards passing and Miller had only two catches for 23 yards.
