MONTGOMERY, Ala. — Brady White passed for 284 yards and three touchdowns to lead Memphis to a 25-10 victory over Florida Atlantic in the Montgomery Bowl.

The Tigers built a big halftime lead, withstood a third-quarter rally and ended coach Ryan Silverfield’s first season with a second straight win.

They also snapped a five-game bowl losing streak and finished 8-3.

Meanwhile, Willie Taggart's debut season with Florida Atlantic ended at 5-4 after the offense sputtered much of the way.
