Memphis Tops No. 18 Tulane 34-24

Memphis defeated No. 18 Tulane 34-24, effectively ending the Green Wave's slim hopes for a College Football Playoff berth. Tulane struggled with offensive execution and committed three turnovers deep in Memphis territory, while Memphis's Greg Desrosiers Jr. caught two touchdowns and ran for another. Seth Henigan set the American Athletic Conference's career passing record during the game, completing 22 of 29 passes for 218 yards. The loss marked the end of Tulane's impressive 17-game regular-season conference winning streak. Despite their defeat, Tulane still has a chance to finish the season strong in the upcoming conference championship game against Army, having previously beaten them four times in a row. Coach John Sumall expressed confidence in his team's ability to bounce back from the loss.
