This game’s not just for the conference but a berth in the Cotton Bowl:
If Memphis wins, they’ll play in the Cotton Bowl.
If Cincinnati wins and Hawaii beats Boise State, then the Bearcats will play in the Cotton Bowl.
Despite the fairly one-sided 34-24 Memphis win that was last week’s game against these two, this game has been almost entirely dictated by Cincinnati’s defense today.
Both QBs have struggled today in a very windy Liberty Bowl Stadium, with the Bearcats’ QB returning for the first time in weeks from injury and Memphis’ QB going 8 for 23 in the first half...the biggest play he really made that half was a touchdown-saving tackle at the Memphis 20 right before halftime, after his Hail Mary pass was intercepted at the CIN 5 yard line (and the team also went 2 for 10 on third down in the first half).
With 12 minutes left in the 3rd quarter, it’s 17-14 Memphis after their first TD since early in the first quarter.
