Memphis’ Run Game Looking Reliable
The Tigers are coming off another win last week to the Georgia State Panthers with a final score of 38-16. This would be their second win of the season as they remain undefeated going into week three.
This season, we are seeing a continuation of the elite offense of the Tigers from last season. Memphis last year finished 19th in points, 49th in rushing yards, and 23rd in passing yards in the country. On top of this the Tigers were able to have a stalwart defense ranked 55th in points allowed and were the 15th best team in rushing yards allowed. The Tigers start their season ranking 34th in points scored and 35th in rushing yards. I expect the Tigers to continue this trend, much like they did last season and remain an elite team on offense.
Senior Brendon Lewis will be continuing his season as the starting quarterback for the Tigers.

Troy Looks To Bounce Back
The Trojans are coming off a tough loss last week to Clemson with a final score of 27-16. This was a close loss as the Trojans looked amazing in the first half, leading 16-3, but blew their lead in the third quarter as they allowed 17 points. Troy now has a record of 1-1 and looks to improve from last season, where they ended with a 4-8 record.
Troy has not looked impressive in their first two games of their 2025 season. The Trojans had an impressive first half in their last game against Clemson; however were unable to find enough defense in the second half to keep their lead. This may be due to the Trojans having issues on defense defending against the pass. Troy this season may be 59th in passing yards allowed, but sits 100th in passing yards averaged per completion at 7.5. On top of this, the Trojans also have an issue taking penalties so far this season, ranking 99th in penalty yards and 132nd in penalties on first down. This discipline may cause the Trojans to allow more yards than their defensive stats may suggest.
