Special teams played without major incident as there were no blocked punts or punts returned for touchdowns by either side. Penalties did not heavily impact the game either since neither team exceeded ten infractions or reached over 100 penalty yards.


On offense, rushing proved more challenging for Memphis compared to their aerial efforts; they gained only 83 yards on ground with an average just shy of three yards per carry and did not score any rushing touchdowns.


Looking ahead after this hard-fought contest, fans can mark their calendars for when the Memphis Tigers will take on Boise State Broncos next.
