UConn’s trip down to Memphis went about as well as everyone expected. The Tigers, boasting a high-octane offense and one of the best running backs in the country, made easy work out of the Huskies’ porous defense, cruising to an easy 55-14 victory at home.
Memphis wasted no time getting things started, scoring just 1:48 into the game on a 44-yard touchdown pass from Brody White to a wide open tight end Joey Magnifico.
The Huskies were able to answer with an impressive drive that spanned over seven minutes. Quarterback David Pindell orchestrated the 17-play, 75-yard and capped it off with a four-yard run to tie it up at seven a piece.
