Auburn beats Memphis in Birmingham Bowl

Here are the games on television, arranged by date and Eastern time, and previews for some of the top match-ups.

The University of Memphis has removed cornerback Reggis Ball from the Memphis football team.

Bowen added he spoke with incoming head coach Mike Norvell and interim head coach Darrell Dickey, and they both supported the decision to remove Ball from the team. He threw a pick six in the second quarter and threw another interception on Auburn’s next play. However, Auburn’s defense stepped up in the third quarter when Memphis quarterback Paxton Lynch threw an interception in the endzone.

The win would also give the program bowl wins in consecutive seasons for the first time.

Lynch never got going and Memphis was running the ball down three touchdowns in the fourth quarter.

This year’s Auburn performance wasn’t consistent, neither offensively nor defensively.

The linebacker’s injury could impact his National Football League aspirations. The win snapped a mini two-game bowl losing streak for the SEC Tigers and gave them their first postseason win since the Chick-fil-A Bowl following the 2011 season. On the same part of the line of scrimmage, yards per catch bestows the control to Memphis by.7.

Johnson’s touchdown pass broke a 10-10 tie.

It was the last chance for the seniors to get a win in the postseason. Wolfpack quarterback Jacoby Brissett and Prescott are two of four quarterbacks with four or fewer interceptions this season.

Wide receiver Fred Ross had seven catches for 74 yards and a touchdown and scored on a 33-yard reverse. “And so, they ended up pretty good after a slow start”. It was Gus Malzahn’s first bowl victory as a head coach. The Aggies have won all three meetings between the schools, which came in consecutive seasons between 1992-94.

Louisville is playing in its sixth consecutive bowl and 20th overall. Robinson had 121 of those yards on 25 carries.

Straight out of the second half, it looked like Memphis remembered how its offense worked and drove down the field. The Auburn defensive pass rush and offensive line just took over and imposed their will in the second half of a game that was knotted at 10 at the half. Peyton Barber, meanwhile, rushed for 44, pushing him over 1,000 yards on the year (1,020) and giving AU back-to-back 1,000-yard rushers. It was a rocky season for Johnson, who was benched after three games, but the junior went out in style.

When things went wrong for Malzahn and the Tigers this year – misfortune arrived early and visited often – the players didn’t lay down and roll over. The Auburn offense is averaging 27.2 points per game with 191.8 rushing yards per game and 175.6 passing yards per game. The Badgers are 1-4 in their last five bowl games with four of those matchups decided by single digits. Auburn’s Daniel Carlson and Memphis’s Jake Elliott were finalists for the Lou Groza Award.
