Note: The Tony Pollard feature first appeared in the Tigers Football GameDay program Oct. 6 when Memphis hosted Connecticut.
Tony Pollard has a poster in his room commemorating a proud moment for him and a long-awaited one for the University of Memphis.
Two years ago – to the day – Pollard returned a kickoff for a touchdown against Temple, his first at the UofM and the first for the Tigers in 20 years. Memphis hadn't run back a kickoff since a memorable win over Tennessee and Peyton Manning in 1996.
