11/06/21 - Seth Henigan, Sr/2025, Memphis, 6-3, 215 (DS#13 QB) + More +

Seth Henigan threw for 392 yards and two touchdowns, and Memphis' defense stymied No. 23 SMU in a 28-25 victory over the Mustangs on Saturday. Henigan, who missed last week's loss to UCF with a right shoulder injury, completed 34 of 53 passes, including touchdowns of 2 yards to Eddie Lewis and 27 yards to Javon Ivory. It took a stout defensive effort in the fourth quarter to preserve the victory for the Tigers (5-4, 2-3 American Athletic Conference). SMU (7-2, 3-2) trailed 28-10 after a 40-yard pass from Memphis running back Rodrigues Clark to tight end Sean Dykes with 11:04 remaining.

The Mustangs' rally began when Tanner Mordecai connected with Danny Gray for a 27-yard touchdown - Gray's second of the day. Tyler Lavine scored on a 1-yard run with just under six minutes left to cut the Memphis lead to three points. SMU had one last drive after the Tigers turned over the ball on downs at the SMU 46, but Mordecai's pass was intercepted by Rodney Owens, sending the Mustangs to their second straight loss. The Tigers' defense was exceptional. SMU, which entered the game averaging 504 yards of offense and 42 points per game, finished with 323 yards and failed to score at least 31 points for the first time this season. Memphis had five sacks and nine tackles for loss. - Memphis/AP College Football

Seth Henigan completed eight of 11 passes for 215 yards and two touchdowns as Memphis scored on five of its first six drives to halt a three-game slide and defeat Navy 35-17 on Thursday night. Four of the five touchdown drives included at least one big play to burn the Navy defense. Henigan competed a 49-yard pass to Javon Ivory on the first play of the game, a 74-yard TD pass to Eddie Lewis and a 51-yard gainer to Koby Drake in the third quarter. The Tigers (4-3, 1-2 American Athletic Conference) also scored on a 69-yard reverse. Calvin Austin III sprinted 69-yards to score on a reverse, staking Memphis to a 14-7 lead it wouldn't relinquish, one play after Navy ground 21 plays to tie the game at 7. It was the most plays for any drive by any team at the FBS level this season. Austin's reverse was all speed, looping out of the backfield and slipping through a knot of three would-be tacklers converging on him just beyond the line of scrimmage. - Memphis/AP College Football

SEPT 20 AMERICAN ATHLETIC CONFERENCE SPECIAL TEAMS PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Calvin Austin III, Sr., WR, Memphis,...Austin had nine catches for 105 yards and two touchdowns, but it was his game-changing special teams play that delivered Memphis' 31-29 win against Mississippi State. The Tigers trailed 21-17 in the fourth quarter when Austin broke through a crowd of players on the Bulldogs' punt coverage team, picked up the ball at the 6-yard line and raced 94 yards for a touchdown and the longest punt return in American Athletic Conference history. Austin finished with 212 all-purpose yards and three total TDs. - American Athletic Conference Football

Calvin Austin scored three second-half touchdowns including a questionable 94-yard punt return in the fourth quarter as Memphis rallied for a 31-29 victory over Mississippi State on Saturday. The victory and Austin's punt return were part of a wild final six minutes that included onside kicks, penalties, reviews, and other questions such as whether Austin could return the punt on which he scored or if the ball was dead.

The Southeastern Conference issued a tweet after the game, arguing the punt return should have been reviewed after the back judge, part of an SEC officiating crew, had signaled to stop the clock after the punted ball stopped moving. The signal apparently went unseen. Told some thought an official ruled the play dead, Mississippi State coach Mike Leach responded: "Did they call the play dead? So, he did call the play dead? We'll have to look at that on film, and maybe some others will too." In the end, Memphis (3-0) escaped with the victory thanks to a 51-yard field goal from Tigers kicker Joe Doyle with 2:02 left. A two-play drive from Mississippi State (2-1) after the field goal was capped by a 36-yard touchdown from quarterback Will Rogers to Makai Polk. But Rogers run for the two-point conversion failed, preserving the Memphis victory. - Memphis/AP College Football

True freshman Seth Henigan threw five touchdown passes, three to Calvin Austin III, who had a career night with 239 yards, and Memphis held off Arkansas State 55-50 on Saturday night. The teams combined for 1,361 yards of offense - with the Red Wolves (1-1) outgaining Memphis (2-0) by just a yard - with 1,001 coming through the air. James Blackman relieved Layne Hatcher at quarterback for the Red Wolves late in the third quarter and went 19 of 28 for 308 yards passing and four touchdowns, including two in the final four minutes to get Arkansas State close before a final Hail Mary failed as time ran out.

Henigan was 22-of-33 passing for 417 yards while redshirt freshman running back Brandon Thomas rushed for 191 yards and two touchdowns for Memphis. Sean Dykes had 143 yards receiving and two scores. Jeff Foreman had eight catches for 198 yards and Te'Vailance Hunt nine for 123 for Arkansas State. There were seven touchdowns in the game that covered 50 yards or more. Austin's 55-yard TD early on gave Memphis a lead it would keep, going up 34-23 at halftime and 41-30 after three quarters. - Memphis/AP College Football

Joe Doyle connected on all five of his first collegiate field-goal attempts, Brandon Thomas rushed for 147 yards and true freshman quarterback Seth Henigan had a successful debut as Memphis opened the season with a 42-17 victory over Nicholls on Saturday night. Doyle, a redshirt junior, transferred to Memphis after serving as a punter then field-goal holder at Tennessee. He peppered the Colonels with five field goals, the longest 38 yards. Nicholls scored first on Lindsey Scott's 10-yard pass to KJ Franklin but the Tigers responded with 32 straight points. Doyle had four field goals during that run with Thomas, Rodrigues Clark and Marquavis Weaver rushing for touchdowns.

After Scott rushed for a touchdown in the third quarter for Nicholls, Doyle added his final field goal and Calvin Austin III scored on an 11-yard pass from Henigan, the first true freshman to start at quarterback for Memphis since 2011. Henigan finished 19 of 32 for 265 yards. Javon Ivory had 106 yards receiving. Memphis won its 16th straight game at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium and its 21st in a row over nonconference opponents. Dai'Jean Dixon had 107 yards receiving for Nicholls. - Memphis/AP College Football
