The Goodyear Cotton Bowl is already providing some back-and-forth action midway through the first quarter. Penn State took an early 7-3 lead over Memphis, but after a quick drive down the field, Memphis Tigers running back Patrick Taylor put his team back on top with a strong run into the end zone from three yards out.

There's no better way to respond to a touchdown than with one of your own. This year's Cotton Bowl is shaping up to be a good one.

Brady White launched a 56-yard pass to Kedarian Jones, which set up the punch-in from Taylor.
