Since 2019, Memphis has played four bowl games, missing out during the 2021 season as the Tigers finished 6-6 and weren’t picked. Silverfield and company have made appearances in Memphis, metro Dallas (twice) and Montgomery in the last half-decade.

During that four-game stretch, Memphis has gone 3-1, with a 36-25 Liberty Bowl victory over Iowa State in 2023. That came on the heels of a 38-10 rout over Utah State at the 2022 First Responder Bowl.

Two years prior, Memphis bested Florida Atlantic, 25-10, in the Montgomery Bowl. The program’s lone postseason loss in the past five years came at the 2019 Cotton Bowl, when they ran out of steam against Penn State in a 53-39 defeat in the heart of Texas.
