Offense struggles without Lynch, Memphis falls to Houston 38-14
HOUSTON -- Senior QB Matt Finley struggled in his second start for the injured Paxton Lynch, completing only 17-47 passes and committing the game's only turnover as Memphis could not move the ball well enough to answer an early 14-0 deficit. The loss is the Tigers' first of the season (4-1, 1-1 AAC). It is also the first time the Tigers have failed to score over 30 points this season.
