UAB stunned No. 22 Memphis 31-24 in their first game under interim coach Alex Mortensen, ending Memphis' 10-game win streak.

UAB upset No. 22 Memphis 31-24 in their first game under interim coach Alex Mortensen, following the dismissal of Trent Dilfer. Starting quarterback Jalen Kitna sat out due to an upper-body injury sustained in a loss to Florida State, prompting redshirt sophomore Ryder Burton to make his first career start. Burton threw for 251 yards and three touchdowns, while Iverson Hooks had 172 receiving yards and three scores, and Solomon Beebe rushed for 106 yards and a touchdown. Memphis, which entered with a 10-game win streak, rallied late but turned the ball over on downs after penalties pushed them back. The loss dented Memphis’ playoff hopes, while UAB snapped a three-game losing streak and earned its first win under Mortensen.
