What Memphis football coach Charles Huff said after comeback win vs USF
Here's what Memphis football coach Charles Huff said after the Tigers' win over USF on Nov. 12. The Tigers blew a 21-point lead and came back to win 52-41.
Tampa, FL — Memphis football coach Charles Huff, known for his outspoken nature, had little to say after a wild game where the Tigers came back from a 21-point deficit to defeat USF 52-41 on November 12. The coach emphasized the need for improvement, stating, "We've got to get better," and questioned the team's ability to win games if they keep giving up such a large number of points.
Memphis led 21-0 early, but USF rallied behind backup quarterback Luke Kromenhoek, who threw for 271 yards and three touchdowns on 30 carries. Memphis eventually answered with a 76-yard touchdown from Marcus Stokes to Jemyri Davis, with Stokes completing five combined touchdowns, his third straight strong performance following a difficult game against Tulane.
The Tigers' defense struggled in the second half, but they managed to secure crucial stops, including a fourth-down fumble drop by USF's Bryson Rodgers and two sacks to halt the Bulls' comeback attempt. Huff praised the players for their execution, noting, "Same kid, Tulane's an anomaly. Kid's battling. Great job Stokes." Memphis' next game is on November 21 against Navy.
