The Memphis Tigers earned their third straight win by at least 24 points, beating UAB 38-13 in the Battle for the Bones at Simmons Bank Liberty Stadium on Saturday. UAB hung tough and even held a 13-10 halftime lead before Memphis outscored the Blazers 28-0 in the second half. Memphis joins UTSA and North Texas as the only teams to be 2-0 in the American Conference. The only other undefeated teams in league play are Florida Atlantic and East Carolina, who have only played one conference game.
