Memphis QB Riley Ferguson outduels Josh Rosen and UCLA

MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- Josh Rosen might have entered Saturday as the featured attraction at Liberty Memorial Stadium, but his quarterback counterpart was the best player on the field.

Memphis’ Riley Ferguson upstaged Rosen with six touchdown passes to lead the Tigers to a 48-45 upset of No. 25 UCLA.

And in the process, the college football world might want to make a mental note of the Ferguson-to-Anthony Miller connection. They were unstoppable against a weary UCLA defense that had few, if any, answers. Miller made diving catches, key fourth-down catches to keep drives alive and also had two touchdown catches of his own.
