3 LOSSES That Were Turning Points In Our Football Program
2003
Mississippi State 35 - Memphis 27
A hugely frustrating day. Turnovers, a botched punt, giving up a kick 6, on a day we should have clobbered them. At the end of the game, TW destroys Jackie Sherrill at midfield. From 3-3, to 6-1 after, with our first winning season and our first bowl win in 30 years.
2014
UCLA 42 - Memphis 35
I hadn't been that excited during a Tiger game for almost 10 years. We should have beaten them. The team played without fear, but Fuente coached with fear at the end of the game. Showed us that we could compete on equal terms with big time programs. From 1-1 to 9-2 after.
2019
Temple 30 - Memphis 28
I'm going to get pushback on this, but IMO, this is the game that transformed White from a good quarterback with good stats, who didn't perform well against good opponents, into a great quarterback. He showed a lot of guts making the throw to Magnifico when he knew he was going to get flattened. He was a different player after that.
