The app said 16-14, now it’s 14-10. Was a TD called back?

Re: Week II (Schedule, Discussion, Scores)
If how you do against other teams actually mattered I'd say I feel really good about Memphis and Houston. Memphis gave up 24 points to Southern; in light of that, I have no doubt our offense can score on them. And after last night I don't think Memphis will score 40 or 50 on us either. Houston didn't exactly blow out Prairie View like you'd expect either.

College football winners and losers for Week 2
Losers
South Florida
USF was 7-0 and nationally ranked heading into a road trip to Houston to end last October. The Bulls haven't won since. In its own way, each loss has been worse than the last; the worst yet might be Saturday's 14-10 loss to a Georgia Tech team in the very start of a massive building project under new coach Geoff Collins. But here's a silver lining: The four-point loss was the Bulls' closest margin of defeat throughout this losing streak. Small victories, I guess. A week ago, USF kicked off the year with a 49-0 loss at home to Wisconsin.

I would not downgrade Memphis’ D over their performance vs. Southern. They played outstanding football vs. Ole Miss and last Saturday was a classic letdown situation.PeteRasche wrote:If how you do against other teams actually mattered I'd say I feel really good about Memphis and Houston.
