MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Patrick Taylor rushed for 128 yards and a touchdown and defensive end Bryce Huff recorded a fourth quarter safety to seal a 15-10 Memphis victory over Ole Miss on Saturday in the season opener for both teams.
Huff's tackle of Mississippi quarterback Matt Corral with 6:42 left created the final margin. The safety was set up by a punt from Memphis' Adam Williams to the Rebels' 2 on the previous play. Huff was virtually untouched before reaching Corral in the back of the end zone.
"I was thinking, 'I've got to make something happen,'" Huff said of the play.
