Seth Henigan's last throw of Memphis football's regular season lingered in his mind. It was an interception in the end zone with seconds remaining that clinched SMU's win over the Tigers. Henigan thought about what he could've done differently and how it was another close loss in the season. What didn't linger was where he thought he'd be playing quarterback in 2023. Less than 24 hours after the game, Henigan told coach Ryan Silverfield he'd back for his junior season. The key factor was loyalty and finishing what he started when he came to Memphis in January 2021. "I made a commitment when I was 17 to this university and this program. That's just who I am," Henigan told The Commercial Appeal on Monday. "Once I make a commitment to something, I'm going to stick with it. I feel like it's best for my career going forward. All my goals are still in front of me as far as college football and the NFL.

"I feel like Memphis, we have a lot of potential going in next year. So I just wanted to make it clear to everyone my intent to stay and hopefully that helps bring other people to our program." Henigan, who's thrown for 3,287 yards, 19 touchdowns and eight interceptions this season, added he never considered the transfer portal as an option. He still believed in what Memphis could accomplish and came away more confident after meeting with Silverfield. As the two shared their goals and expectations for the program, Henigan said Silverfield made clear it was their job to win games. No matter who surrounds them, it's on the quarterback and head coach to accomplish that and Henigan was fine with that challenge. - Memphis Commercial Appeal

Action/Reaction. Memphis quarterback Seth Henigan and tight end Caden Prieskorn informed the team they will return next season. Memphis could have as many as eight starters on offense back in 2023. However, Althletic director Laird Veatch made clear that neither he nor coach Ryan Silverfield are pleased with the on-field results. Memphis has consecutive losing seasons in conference play for the first time since 2010-11. "To be clear, our shared goal and expectation remain for Memphis to be the top program in our conference and compete annually on the national stage," Athletic Director Laird Veatch said, adding Coach Ryan Silverfield is returning for a fourth season. Veatch's letter came after one of the Tigers went on Twitter to defend Silverfield, who was ripped by ESPN radio host Paul Finebaum. Senior defensive lineman Wardalis Ducksworth sent out two tweets Thursday in support of his coach while also calling out parts of the Memphis fan base. - Memphis Commercial Appeal

Although action doesn't officially start until Monday, among the reported quarterbacks in, or planning to be to enter the transfer portal as of Dec. 1 is Colorado's Brendon Lewis: He started all 12 games last season as a redshirt freshman, then played in two games this season. He opened the season as the starter, didn't play at all in the second game, played as a backup in the third game and that was it. Lewis didn't put up notable numbers, but he also played in two bad offenses. - NFL Draft Scout and online sources

Memphis fumbled on its first possession and Tulsa turned it into a 24-yard field goal from Zack Long to take a 3-0 lead, but the Tigers rolled to 23 straight points and took a 23-3 lead heading into the fourth quarter. Braylon Braxton got Tulsa in the end zone with a 13-yard pass to Keylon Stokes with under six minutes left in the game.
