September 24--SMU 42, OSM{Memphis} 0. It's really tough to win when you are outrushed 162 yards to -14. SMU's Zack Line had three 1-yard TD runs in the first half. And then SMU QB J.J. McDermott threw for 357 yards compared to Memphis's Taylor Reed's 153.

October 1--MTSU 38, OSM{Memphis} 31. Oh no! Memphis jumped out to a 17-0 lead midway through the second quarter. MTSU crawled their way back thanks to two TD catches by Malcolm Beyah, and the fourth quarter tied 17-17. That's when the fun began. Reed led the Tigers on an 11-play, 71-yard TD drive capped by a 2-yard TD run from Billy Foster. However, two plays later, MTSU's D.D. Kyles scampered 59 yards for a tying touchdown. MTSU then took the for the first time after an 8-play drive ended when MTSU's William Pratcher rushed for 11 yards and then fumbled the ball forward where his teammate Malcolm Beyah recovered it in the end zone for a touchdown. Is Memphis going to take this? No! Taylor Reed catches fire, completing five straight passes for 79 yards, culminating with a 23-yard game tying TD to Keiwone Malone. But, this left MTSU 1:41 left on the clock. Now, an ill-timed lateral and an illegal block on the kickoff put the Blue Raiders 94 yards away, and then a rush for no gain and a fumble had Memphis hoping for overtime. But then a 14-yard rush, a 17-yard pass, and a 23-yard pass set up Logan Kilgore's 33-yard TD pass to Anthony Amos with just 11 seconds left to give MTSU their first win of the season.

Up next: 1-3 Rice. Memphis is 114th in both points scored and points allowed. Rice is 96th and 117th. Woohoo!
