After Memphis kicked a 55-yard field goal to tie the game in the first overtime and scored a touchdown on the first possession of the second overtime, defensive back DaShaughn Terry intercepted a BYU pass to seal the win. Several Tigers players piled on to Terry in celebration but the brawl broke out soon after.

Memphis offensive lineman Chase Johnson swung his helmet at BYU offensive lineman Tejan Koroma.

Memphis improved to 10-3 with the win. BYU dropped to 8-5.
