ORLANDO, Fla. – No, Tiger Nation, it wasn't the outcome we wanted.
But, Tiger Nation, you should only be bursting with pride for your University of Memphis football team. Proud of the way the Tigers played. Proud of their fight. Proud of their desire.
And yes, proud of the way the team represented your city, the city of Memphis!
The Tigers fell just short in their quest for the American Athletic Conference Championship with a 62-55 double-overtime loss at UCF at Spectrum Stadium. The game was the highest-scoring championship game in Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) history.
