In four years with Memphis, Henigan has thrown for 13,972 yards and 102 touchdowns on 1,129 completions. If he throws two touchdowns in the bowl game, he will tie the AAC record for career touchdown passes. Henigan already broke the AAC record for career passing yardage earlier this year.
Memphis’ Bowl Game Win Streak
Memphis have yet to lose a bowl game under head coach Ryan Silverfield. The program has reached postseason eligibility every year since 2014.
The Tigers have won each of their last three appearances in bowl games dating back to 2020. That season, Memphis took down Florida Atlantic in the 2020 Fenway Bowl. Then in 2021, Memphis qualified accepted an invitation to the Hawaii Bowl, but the game was eventually cancelled due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The Tigers bounced back with wins in the 2022 First Responder Bowl and the 2023 Liberty Bowl.
Changes at West Virginia
Following a 6-6 record in the regular season, West Virginia parted ways with head coach Neal Brown. Offensive coordinator Chad Scott will be the Mountaineers’ head coach in the interim. However, WVU will reunite with Rich Rodriguez for 2025 and beyond, after Rodriguez led Jacksonville State to back-to-back nine-win seasons in their first two years as an FBS program. Rodriguez previously went 60-26 in seven seasons as the WVU head coach from 2001 to 2007.

Missed opportunity
West Virginia had a 6-0 lead in game three of its series against Kennesaw State, looking well on their way to a clean three-game sweep of the Owls.
Unfortunately for Steve Sabins, the bullpen imploded following another strong five-inning outing from the big lefty Maxx Yehl. Bryson Thacker, Carson Estridge, and David Perez combined to give up four runs on five hits over the final three innings, allowing the Owls to steal Sunday’s game.
The loss frustrated West Virginia fans and rightfully so, but there’s no need to panic. The name of the game is to continue winning the series. You do that, you’ll find yourself in a position to make the NCAA Tournament and earn a high seed. Obviously, you don’t want to blow the opportunity of a sweep, especially when you’re up 6-0, but it’s not a loss that is going to ruin their resume. Losing the series, on the other hand, would have.
What’s next for the Mountaineers?
No single mid-week game this week for West Virginia. Instead, they’ll play a quick two-game series against Radford at home beginning Tuesday. They’ll get one day of rest before opening up a three-game series at home against Columbia, which will be the final series of non-conference play. WVU will have a single mid-week game against Maryland on Tuesday, March 10th, before beginning Big 12 action on the road against Baylor.

Redshirt sophomore Bryson Thacker took the mound in the six. After a high and wide throw on a ground ball, a walk, and with two outs, junior Cooper Williams drooped an RBI single in right field to put the Owls on the board. Then, a pitch in the dirt rolled to the backstop to add another run, closing the gap to four, 6-2.
Carson Estridge was handed the ball in the seventh. The senior right-hander gave up a leadoff double before registering the next two outs, including a strikeout, before freshman McCollum line an RBI single just out of the reach of the glove of Kelly. Senior Jackson Chirello cut the deficit one, hammering the 3-1 pitch well over the right field wall and into the Waffle House parking lot for a two-run home run.

Senior Jamarie Brooks reached after hitting a sharp ground ball over to first that went between the legs of senior Ben Lumsden. Then, Williams blasted a two-run home run and a 7-6 Owls lead.
In the ninth, senior Matthew Graveline nearly tied the game with the swing of the bat, driving 0-2 pitch off the top of the left field wall for a one-out double to put the Mountaineers into scoring position. However, redshirt senior Harry Cain sat the last two Mountaineer hitters to collect his second win of the season as the Owls completed the comeback with the 7-6 decision.
