Meanwhile, the Memphis Tigers typically have all the answers at home, but last Friday UCF proved too difficult a challenge. One of the most thrilling moments was Jones' 70-yard TD reception in the second quarter. Temple's loss came about despite a quality game from WR Randle Jones, who caught four passes for one TD and 100 yards.
