Lynch, Memphis continue hot start; roll over Rutgers 48-27
NEW BRUNSWICK -- QB Paxton Lynch scored 5 TD's (4 pass, 1 rush) and WR Jarod Hayden posted his third 100+ receiving yard game this season as the Tigers offense continued putting up video game-like numbers. Memphis scored all 48 of their points in the first three quarters before mercifully sending in the second string.
The win moves the Tigers to 5-0 on the season (2-0 AAC), marking their best start to a season since 1961.
