Henigan's late TD pass to Taylor gives Memphis 33-28 win over Charlotte
Henigan's second TD pass of the game gave him 91, the most in Memphis history, passing Brady White.
After the 49ers retook the lead with just under two minutes left, Henigan led the Tigers down the field, hitting five consecutive passes including Taylor's catch just inside the left sideline in the end zone.
Charlotte (3-5, 2-2 American Athletic Conference) rallied behind freshman quarterback DeShawn Purdie, who started the second half, to score three fourth-quarter touchdowns. The 49ers took a four-point lead with two minutes left on Hahsaun Wilson's 18-yard run one play after Purdie's 57-yard completion to O'Mega Blake.
Memphis (7-1, 3-1) had gone in front moments before on Tristian Vandenberg's field goal set up by DJ Bell's interception at the Charlotte 8 that the Tigers couldn't convert into a TD.
A Memphis safety finished the scoring in the final seconds.
Henigan was 20 of 32 for 212 yards passing, two touchdowns and an interception. Mario Anderson Jr. rushed for 141 yards on 32 carries, his fifth 100-yard rushing game this season. Taylor had 99 yards receiving on six catches.
