Memphis football player Reggis Ball tackles opposition coach and steals game ball

For some reason Memphis again failed to account for Jeremy Johnson on the power draw on the first play of the 4th quarter and allowed the Tigers to pick up a touchdown on 1st and 5 to open things up to a 24-10 lead. He’s passed for 2,448 yards and 19 touchdowns this season. tight end/running back Jaylen Samuels has 64 catches so far for 599 yards and seven touchdowns, and has also run for 315 yards and seven more TDs while averaging 5.9 yards per carry. He tossed a lame duck into traffic and the pass was intercepted by Reggis Ball, leading to a Memphis field goal. Lynch might by no means get untracked in what might be the ultimate college game for the projected top-five National Football League draft decide. But the 126 yards rushing and a touchdown by Auburn running back Jovon Robinson has taken a back seat.

Auburn was facing a Memphis offense who had scored 42.7 points per game (6th nationally) and a quarterback in Paxton Lynch who had thrown for 305 yards per game (13th nationally) in a bowl game that they hardly pictured themselves playing in just four short months ago…all of this without their defensive coordinator, Will Muschamp.

Memphis, which has already knocked off No. 16 MS from the SEC, is actually a slight underdog against Auburn (6-6) despite having a chance to post consecutive 10-win seasons for the first time. If there’s one shining light in this game for Memphis, it’s Reggis Ball’s two interceptions.

Memphis got on the scoreboard with 10:03 in the second quarter on a 53-yard field goal by Jake Elliott.

It doesn’t help Auburn that starting quarterback Sean White has been trying to overcome a knee injury since October and is questionable to play.

“The future is very bright”, Malzahn said. Auburn stalled inside the redzone, though, and had to kick a field goal. The three losses for the Tigers were to bowl teams (Navy, Houston and Temple) before the final game of the regular season, a 63-0 whitewashing of the Southern Methodist Mustangs. Memphis emerged victorious in two prior games in 1975 and 1976.
