MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Riley Ferguson threw three touchdown passes and Memphis took advantage for five turnovers by No. 25/24 Navy to hand the Midshipmen their first loss 30-27 on Saturday.
Navy quarterback Zach Abey ran for 146 yards for Navy (5-1, 301 American), but the Tigers held the nation’s leading running game 100 yards under its 416-yard average. Abey surpassed 1,000 yards rushing this season with a 28-yard run late in the fourth quarter, but was responsible for all five turnovers.
Memphis (5-1, 2-1) beat a top-25 opponent for the third straight time, including two this season.
Ferguson passed for 279 yards and Anthony Miller had 10 receptions for 90 yards and two TDs.
The Tigers took a 20-19 lead on a 42-yard field goal by Riley Patterson late in the third quarter, the game’s fifth lead change. Memphis extended its lead to 27-19 by piecing together a 99-yard scoring drive early in the fourth, capped by an 8-yard TD pass to Miller.
After another 42-yard field goal by Patterson in the fourth made it 30-19, Navy trimmed to deficit to 30-27 with 3:25 to go and had one final opportunity in the final two minutes. But Memphis linebacker Austin Hall ended the comeback try with his second interception with 1:42 to go.
Navy rushed 36 times for 155 yards in the first half and dominated time of possession. The Midshipmen controlled the ball for 20:06 minutes of the opening half.

Memphis could've probably put this one away in the first quarter if they would've capitalized more
both teams played so sloppy. UCF is going to man-handle Navy.

Very uncharacteristic of navy, good job giving the game away Navy.
Best team in Tennessee and it isnt even close. Butch Jones could not coach his way out of a wet paper bag
