MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WMC) - Memphis football led by as many as 17 on Saturday night on the road against East Carolina.

But they allowed the Pirates to come back and eventually win in 4 overtimes, 47-45.

The Tigers drop to 4-3 on the season and 2-2 in AAC play.

It’s the second straight week the Tigers have given up a double-digit lead, after falling to Houston at home last Friday after leading by as many as 19 in the fourth quarter.

Memphis hits the road again next Saturday to take on one of the best teams in the AAC in Tulane.
