MEMPHIS, Tenn. – University of Memphis running back Darrell Henderson continued rushing up the school's career charts. Quarterback Brady White again displayed his uncanny accuracy. And receiver Damonte Coxie kept his streak of consistency alive with a third-straight 100-yard game.
But in Saturday's 47-21 American Athletic Conference victory over Tulsa at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium, it was the Tiger defense that set an early tone. The defensive unit, directed by coordinator Chris Ball, rewarded another solid outing by one of the nation's most proficient offenses and helped the UofM become bowl eligible for the fifth-straight year.
