Memphis (6-2, 3-1 AAC) remains a contender in what appears to be a 4-team AAC race. The Tigers’ only losses were relatively close contests against currently ranked Missouri and Tulane teams. Otherwise, Ryan Silverfield’s team has passed every test — even last week’s bizarre game at North Texas. Memphis held a commanding 31-7 second quarter lead but the defense unraveled in the third quarter, allowing North Texas to snatch a 42-38 advantage with 47 seconds remaining. But rather than panic, the Tigers responded in warp speed. Seth Henigan led a rapid 75-yard drive in 35 seconds, finishing with a 36-yard pass to Joe Scates in the end zone with 12 ticks remaining.
