Memphis Tigers

Memphis Tigers scored 37 points against Arkansas State Red Wolves in their opening game. From the defensive end, the Tigers restricted the Red Wolves to 24. It was an easy game for Memphis as they dominated the Red Wolves with their offense and a well-balanced defensive unit. The Tigers are holding the 25th rank on the season and are led by Rodrigues Clark. In their last game, Clark managed to carry the ball 20 times in a span of 105 yards. Kenneth Gainwell did a decent job from the running back spot. The Tigers seem to have several bright spots on their team.

The Mustangs continued their success against North Texas Mean Green when they scored 65 points and restricted them to just 35. Last week, SMU smashed the Lumberjacks with a final score of 50-7.

SMU will need full support from the defensive end if they want their offense to get past the Tigers.
