Memphis outlasts Temple 24-17, moves into first place in the AAC
MEMPHIS -- The Tigers' defense picked up the slack for an uncharacteristically stagnant offense, holding Temple to just 326 yards of total offense and forcing a critical turnover to seal a 24-17 win.
The victory moved the Tigers to 7-0 on the season. More importantly, it pushed them to first place in the AAC following Connecticut's upset of Louisville.
