At least we got paidOregon too much for Memphis
Article By: Memphis kicked off season 30 with a road trip to Oregon this afternoon.
The Tigers got the ball first but a promising drive would come to an end when Mario Anderson fumbled the ball in Ducks territory. Oregon's speed would dominate the rest of the half as they sliced Memphis apart. The Tigers were able to get a FG towards the end of the first half and trailed 17-3 at the break.
Oregon continued its stellar play and went up 24-3 mid way through the 3rd. The Tigers fought back and scored its first touchdown of the game to make it 24-10 as the 3rd quarter came to a close.
Things got interesting early in the 4th when Memphis defense returned an interception back for a TD making it 24-17. Oregon answered right back though, hitting a deep pass for a TD and then forcing Memphis to punt. One play later RB James would get loose for a long TD run and the Ducks led 38-14. The Tigers wouldnt quit though and put together an impressive drive that ended with an Anderson TD run.
Tough environment for sure said Coach MGR afterwards. You add in Coach Shel and its double trouble. The early fumble set us back, other than that we played pretty well
GG Shel, GL in the BIG!
