Memphis 31, GGSM{SMU} 26

Another tough loss for SMU. True freshman QB Bo Levi Mitchell had a career high 5 yards rushing, but that one rush carried quite a price. He injured his shoulder on their second quarter field goal drive, knocking him out of the game. He finished 5-7 for 83, including a 53-yard touchdown to Emmanuel Sanders. Backup QB Logan Turner, also a freshman, played well, completing 19-31 for 228 yards and two touchdowns.

Although the Mustangs never led in the game, they trailed by only one at halftime 14-13, and at the end of the third quarter 21-20. However, Memphis was able to score a quick touchdown and then run down the clock on a key 10-play, 77-yard field goal drive to get some insurance points in the fourth quarter. Logan Turneer did rally SMU on a quick touchdown drive with 44 seconds left, but they were unable to recover the onside kick and were forced to watch Memphis run out the clock.

SMU tries to end their 19-game I-A losing streak next week at UTEP.
