Memphis Defeats West Virginia in Frisco Bowl

News summary

In his final game for No. 25 Memphis, Seth Henigan threw for 294 yards and two touchdowns, leading the Tigers to a 42-37 victory over West Virginia in the Frisco Bowl. With this performance, Henigan matched the American Athletic Conference career touchdown passing record with 104 and finished as Memphis' all-time leader in passing yards, touchdowns, and completions. The Tigers improved to 11-2, marking only the second time in their 109-year history that they achieved 11 wins, and they remain undefeated in four bowl games under Coach Ryan Silverfield. West Virginia had a strong offensive showing, scoring on six consecutive possessions, but ultimately fell short after an interception in the final minute.

This game also coincided with Rich Rodriguez's return as West Virginia's head coach, highlighting the contrasting trajectories of both programs.
