Hoping to see one of the top running backs in college football play on Saturday? Unfortunately, he will not be showcased in the Birmingham Bowl.
The Memphis Tigers will take on the Wake Forest Demon Deacons without their star running back and leading rusher Darrell Henderson. The junior is instead putting his effort and focus into the NFL Draft.
Memphis clinched bowl eligibility in early November with a win against Tulsa, putting it at 6-4. The team finished the season with another two wins and a loss.
Wake Forest clinched bowl eligibility at the last second, securing its sixth win in its last game of the regular season against Duke.
