  Marcus Stokes was 29-of-43 passing for 320 yards and three touchdowns and added two rushing TDs to help Memphis beat East Carolina 41-34 in overtime on Thursday night. Stokes' 5-yard rushing TD on the first possession of OT capped the scoring. Ellis Ellis Jr. intercepted a pass in the end zone to end the game for Memphis (6-2, 3-1 American Conference). Jermyri Davis had eight receptions for 91 yards and two touchdowns for the Tigers. After Stokes capped a 13-play, 80-yard drive with a 2-yard scoring run with 3:31 left in regulation, Mitch Griffis threw a 20-yard touchdown pass to Landon Sides on fourth-and-9 about 2 minutes later that made it 34-all and forced overtime.

Noah Perez kicked field goals of 22, 30 and a career-long 49 yards for ECU (3-4, 1-2), the last of which made it 16-3 as time expired in the first half. Griffis replaced starting quarterback Emory Williams early in the second quarter and was 14-of-26 passing for 199 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions.

  Marcus Stokes threw for 223 yards and two touchdowns as Memphis rattled off the final 13 points to beat UNLV 27-21 on Saturday night in a season opener for both teams.

UNLV took a 14-7 halftime lead behind Jackson Arnold, who threw a 38-yard touchdown pass to Tavian McNair and added a 6-yard touchdown run.

Carter then scored on a 36-yard run to make it 21-all. Philippe Laforge kicked field goals of 32 and 36 yards to put Memphis ahead 27-21.

The Tigers finished with six sacks and 11 tackles for loss. Arnold threw for 291 yards and two touchdowns. - AP College Football

  10/31/25 - Frank Peasant, rSr/2026, Memphis, 5-11, 205 (DS#999 RB) + More +

  Frank Peasant rushed for three touchdowns, Brendon Lewis threw for 225 yards and rushed for a touchdown, and No. 25 Memphis beat Rice 38-14 on Friday night. Lewis, who also rushed for 87 yards, finished 18-of-22 passing and connected with 11 different receivers. Memphis (8-1, 4-1 American) outgained Rice 355-212. Lewis exited midway through the fourth quarter and appeared to limp off. "He had been dealing with a lower leg issue previously," Memphis coach Ryan Silverfield said.

"We'll monitor him day-to-day like any of the guys that were banged up tonight." Lewis had an 18-yard touchdown run in the first quarter, and Peasant had touchdown runs of 2, 1 and 1 yards in the first half as the Tigers built a 28-0 lead midway through the second quarter. "Frank's a guy that's had a lot of success throughout his college career, and then came to us and bought into his role," Silverfield said. "I'm just so proud of him for being bought in whether it's being short yardage, goal-line running back, special teams." Peasant gave credit to his offensive line. "Red zone, our big package," Peasant said. "My O-line was moving them out of the way for me, so it was kind of easy for me." Cortez Braham Jr. caught three passes for 66 yards, and Greg Desrosiers Jr. rushed for a 2-yard touchdown in the third quarter for the Tigers. - Memphis/AP College Football

  10/25/25 - Brendon Lewis, rSr/2026, Memphis, 6-2, 216 (DS#18 QB) + More +

  Quarterback Brendon Lewis connected with Cortez Braham Jr. for a 10-yard touchdown with 1:07 remaining to give Memphis a come-from-behind 34-31 victory over No. 18 South Florida on Saturday. South Florida kicker Nico Gramatica missed a 52-yard field goal as time expired to preserve Memphis' victory. Memphis trailed 31-17 entering the fourth quarter, but a 13-yard run by Greg Desrosiers Jr. early in the period and a 28-yard field goal from Gianni Spetic pulled Memphis (7-1, 3-1 American Athletic Conference) within 31-26. That set the stage for the winning drive by Memphis, including the 2-point conversion.

Lewis, who finished with 307 yards passing, threw a fade route to Braham on the right side of the end zone for the winning score. South Florida quarterback Byrum Brown accounted for three touchdowns and 390 yards of total offense. Brown rushed for 121 yards and a pair of touchdowns and threw for 269 yards, including a scoring pass of 5 yards to Jeremiah Koger as the Bulls (6-2, 3-1), had their four-game winning streak snapped. Sam Franklin added a 73-yard touchdown run in the second half. Brown used his versatility to lead the Bulls offense. His lone mistake of the first half was an interception by Memphis' Everett Roussaw Jr. that set up a 19-yard scoring run by Frank Pleasant. That was the only offensive success generated by Memphis until the closing minute of the half when Lewis connected with Braham for a 5-yard touchdown. - Memphis/AP College Football

  Tennessee, Vanderbilt and Memphis are no strangers to The Associated Press college football poll. Until now, the three schools from the Volunteer State had never been ranked in the Top 25 together. Memphis is the first Bowl Subdivision team to go 6-0 and achieve bowl eligibility, and Sunday the Tigers received their first ranking of the season at No. 23. "Hopefully we continue to win football games and hopefully there continues to be positive headlines about this group and about this program," sixth-year coach Ryan Silvefield said. "We want to continue to see that leaping Tiger, that Memphis logo, on national television week after week and people talking about us in a positive light - not only about this athletic department, this football program, but our great city." The Tigers, who won 34 games over four seasons with Seth Henigan at quarterback, have rallied around Brendon Lewis and are among the front-runners for the Group of Five bid in the College Football Playoff.

Lewis, who transferred from Nevada, leads an offense averaging 40.5 points per game to rank second in the American Conference and 450 yards per game to rank third. Memphis' season highlight so far is its 32-31 win over Arkansas in a game in which it trailed by 18 points in the second quarter. The Tigers have lopsided wins over Florida Atlantic and Tulsa since. Their toughest remaining games, against No. 24 South Florida and Tulane, are at home. - AP College Football

Desrosiers' 204 yards were the most by an American player this season and marked only the second time this season that an FBS player surpassed 200 yards on the ground. - American Conference Football
