Memphis defense overcomes another lackluster offensive performance, drops Temple 21-10
MEMPHIS -- Paxton Lynch missed his 8th consecutive start and the Tigers continued to struggle moving the ball downfield. It didn't matter, though, thanks to a stout defensive performance led by junior CB Steve Perez. Perez snagged his 7th and 8th INT's of the season, the last of which came in the red zone and effectively ended Temple's chances of coming back.
The win is the Tigers 7th of the season (7-4, 3-4 AAC), their most since the 2007 season.
