Tigers battle gallantly, but fall to No. 9/10 UCF

MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Darrell Henderson rushed for 199 yards, surpassed 1,000 yards in a season and moved to No. 2 on the University of Memphis football program's career rushing list, but his efforts weren't enough to topple the nation's 10th-ranked team.

UCF won its 19th straight game with a 31-30 American Athletic Conference victory over the Tigers Saturday at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium, even though Henderson nearly ended the streak.

Henderson broke free for a 32-yard touchdown run with about six minutes left, but the play was negated by a holding penalty.
