WATCH: A Memphis player tackled one of Auburn’s equipment managers and stole a football. Memphis is playing in a second straight bowl game for the first time since 2008. Texas A&M has won its last four bowl appearances, and have an overall record of 17-19 in bowl games. That followed the first turnover of the game, a poorly thrown pass by Jason Smith on a reverse play.
Memphis (9-3) and its star quarterback are aiming for another win over a Southeastern Conference team in Wednesday’s Birmingham Bowl against Auburn. “We have been in hostile environments before”. One pass. Whole game. “It’s fun to play when there is a large crowd”.
Paxton Lynch is the Memphis QB, he threw 28 touchdowns and only three interceptions on the year. That beforehand knowledge did Memphis no good, as Auburn pounded away all day to the tune of 252 yards and three touchdowns on 56 carries.
“I think I learned a lot this year, and not in any more game than in this game, especially in that sequence of plays when I missed Ricardo who was open, I threw an interception for a touchdown and threw another interception”, White said. Sean White threw the pass directly to Reggie Ball, who had a clear path to the end zone to tie the game with 3:06 before intermission. Auburn outgained Memphis 402-205 in total yards within the 1st game since defensive coordinator Will Muschamp left to grow to be South Carolina’s head coach. This time Jake Elliott was blocked, resulting in no points for Memphis. He led the team with five interceptions this season.
Thompson said he was happy for the seniors and proud of the entire team.
Memphis defensive back DaShaughn Terry (32) deflects a pass intended for Auburn wide receiver Ricardo Louis (5) during the first half of the Birmingham Bowl NCAA college football game, Wednesday, Dec. 30, 2015, in Birmingham, Ala.
According to oddsmakers from online sports book BetDSI, Memphis is a 4.5-point underdog versus Auburn after opening as a 2.5-point dog. The Tigers aren’t a great running team but have several guys that can get key yardage, that could be a big impact on this one with Auburn keying in on Lynch.
