Tweets: What they’re saying at Memphis at Temple
Wardalis Ducksworth of the Memphis Tigers tackles D'Wan Mathis of the Temple Owls during the Memphis-Temple game at Lincoln Financial Field on Oct. 2, 2021 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. (Kate Frese/Special to Daily Memphian)
The Memphis Tigers are on ESPNU, and one of the commentators said Seth Henigan has the “it” factor.
Here that, Big 12?
The Tigers are opening the AAC schedule today against Temple at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia. The travesty that happened two seasons ago? Let’s not let the refs decide this one.
(Note at halftime: We think the ESPNU commentator jinxed us.)
Our last two games had blown leads. Both losses have ruined our perfect streaks in our two most beautiful helmets. #GTG #ALLIN pic.twitter.com/L0xedVEzZG

- Missed tackles
- Critical turnovers
- Double digit lead evaporates in the second half...
And it's NOT the fault of Seth, the freshman QB! #GTG pic.twitter.com/Hjcx3pC8Ey
A Temple single game record for completions. What a freaking joke.

I don’t know what changes are required or even possible. But blowing a three score lead two weeks in a row is inexcusable. Young players, new systems, Covid whatever! None of it excuses this level of apathy and ineptitude. Infuriating doesn’t begin to describe it! #gotigersgo

Fourth down for Memphis. This could be the ball game.

Kylan Watkins fumbles on the goal line and Temple recovers. A costly turnover.
— Frank Bonner ll (@Frank_Bonner2) October 2, 2021
What makes it even worse is that Temple recovered in the endzone so the Owls get the ball on the 20 instead of being backed up.
Any Memphis play that doesn’t involve Dykes or Austin III has been trash. #GTG

Is Memphis worse than Temple or is it Silverfield’s inability to coach?

Dylan Parham wasn't out long.
— Frank Bonner ll (@Frank_Bonner2) October 2, 2021
Tigers score on TD pass to Sean Dykes but Doyle misses the PAT.
Memphis leads 23-17. Only time will tell how important that missed PAT will be.
Back in front! 👏@seth_henigan finds @SnagDykes5 in the back of the endzone for a two-yard touchdown.

Dylan Parham was down on the ground for a while. He was helped up but walked off the field on his own. Hopefully it's not anything too serious.
— Frank Bonner ll (@Frank_Bonner2) October 2, 2021
The defense gave up a 39-yard run on that drive but did its job in not allowing any points.
— Frank Bonner ll (@Frank_Bonner2) October 2, 2021
Now, its the offense's turn to make something happen. The Tigers can't get stagnant here.
Tiger defense forces a missed 48-yard field goal from Temple.

Memphis gets the ball back at their own 31-yard line.

This is the first time we are seeing Kylan Watkins. He just got his first carry of the season.
— Frank Bonner ll (@Frank_Bonner2) October 2, 2021
Having him back in the rotation is a good sign for the Tigers moving forward.
Just win, win ugly if you have to #GTG

Memphis tied with Temple at half? Yuck
— Reed Wallach (@ReedWallach) October 2, 2021
Good grief. My wife turns on the Tigers game and we are up 17-0, and then Temple immediately scored two TDs and just tied it up.
— CodyD (@codyduncan24) October 2, 2021
I’m sorry for my wife’s transgression. We will turn the game off now. #GoTigersGo
Tigers fans, this season was never about getting the NY6 game. This season was about getting a bowl game & developing a new QB. 9-3 was what we hoped for. 7-5 is the floor in my opinion. Temple is bad at football. Memphis loses & indicates bowl game may be out of reach.

Jadan Blue took a big shot on the punt, and Memphis was called for a 15-yard facemask penalty. Temple is taking over at its own 36. https://t.co/FFh1wsTiXl
— Dante Collinelli (@DanteCollinelli) October 2, 2021
Clark’s running style might be a better fit for this game. Doesn’t mean Thomas is “bad”, Clark is just more physical.
