The Memphis Tigers beat Arkansas in a thriller Saturday at Simmons Bank Liberty Stadium.
The Tigers came back from an 18-point deficit to upset Arkansas 32-31 in front of an announced sellout crowd of 39,861 fans. Memphis forced three takeaways, held the best third-down offense in the country to just three conversions on 11 attempts and recorded 290 rushing yards.
