Lynch returns, powers Memphis past Connecticut 24-21 in 'Snow Bowl'
STORRS -- Freshman QB Paxton Lynch returned to the field after missing the previous 8 games, overcoming a field covered in snow and three INT's to narrowly defeat Connecticut. Despite the field conditions and mistakes, the Tigers were able to post 555 total yards - their most since a Week 6 win over UCF - with Lynch putting up 413 of them as well as 3 rushing TD's.
The win moves Memphis to 8-4 on the season, 4-4 in the AAC. This marks the most wins Memphis has posted in a season since 2004.
