Thrilling Comeback: Memphis Tigers Edge No. 18 South Florida Bulls 34-31
In a pulse-pounding American Athletic Conference clash at Simmons Bank Liberty Stadium, the Memphis Tigers staged a dramatic fourth-quarter rally to stun the No. 18 South Florida Bulls, 34-31, Saturday (10/25). Trailing 31-17 entering the final frame after USF's explosive 73-yard touchdown run by Sam Franklin, Memphis (7-1, 3-1 AAC) refused to fade.
A holding penalty pushed USF back in the final drive, dooming Nico Gramatica's 51-yard game-tying field goal attempt, which sailed wide left. Memphis' turnover-free resilience preserved their College Football Playoffs dreams in a crowded AAC race.
