Tigers endure Huskies, 28-14
Injuries to QB Paxton Lynch and RB Doroland Dorceus couldn't stop the Memphis Tigers, as they won their first AAC game of the season.
The game looked well in hand for the Tigers as they strolled along to a 20-7 lead midway through the fourth quarter, but a UConn TD and Memphis 3-and-out made the Tiger faithful wary. Fortunately for Justin Fuente's squad, Memphis was able to force UConn to go 3-and-out, and drove for a TD to seal the victory.
