Slow start, inefficiency plague Memphis in 24-20 loss to Cincinnati
MEMPHIS -- Junior WR Jarod Hayden was spectacular (129 yds, TD), but it wasn't enough to lift a Tigers offense that seemingly could not string together enough positive plays. QB Matt Finley - making his fourth start for the injured Paxton Lynch - completed under 50% of his passes and the Tigers could only manage 1 TD on 4 red zone trips.
The loss drops Memphis to 5-2 on the season, 2-2 in the AAC.
