BOCA RATON, Fla. (AP) — Greg Desrosiers Jr. ran for three touchdowns, including a 90-yarder, Brendon Lewis rushed for two and threw for a pair to Cortez Braham Jr. and Memphis beat Florida Atlantic 55-26 on Saturday night in an American Conference opener.

The Tigers (5-0, 1-0) scored 31 points in the fourth quarter, including the final 24, in extending their winning streak to nine dating to last season, the longest-active streak in the nation.

Lewis rushed for 18- and 15-yard TDs and threw 18- and 73-yard fourth-quarter scores to Braham.

Desrosiers' 2-yard run in the final minute of the first half gave Memphis a 17-16 edge and the lead for good. Early in the third quarter he turned in the longest run from scrimmage for the Tigers since 1966. He added a 1-yard score late.
