Memphis has battled normal wear and tear this season but 2020 has seen the Tigers, like most teams, handle unexpected attrition during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Tigers suffered another loss Monday with senior defensive tackle O'Bryan Goodson announcing via Twitter he suffered a season-ending injury. Goodson's statement also said he played his final game with the Tigers. He was on the sidelines but didn't play in the Tigers' loss at Tulane last Saturday. His last appearance came at Navy where Memphis won first time at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium. Goodson started 44 of 46 games, including 10 as a true freshman in 2017. He finished his Memphis career with 27.5 tackles for loss, five forced fumbles and being named an all-AAC honorable mention in 2019. He also has the option to use an extra year of eligibility as granted by the NCAA if he elects to play elsewhere. - Memphis Commercial Appeal

12/01/20 - Connor Adair, rSr/2022, Memphis, 6-3, 200 (DS#999 QB) + More +

Memphis' quarterback depth just got thinner with junior Connor Adair, who is Brady White's backup, no longer listed on the team's roster. Coach Ryan Silverfield on Monday stuck to his policy of not commenting on players leaving the team unless they announce it first. But he also mentioned that any player not on the roster is currently not with the team. Adair has been the second-string quarterback the past two seasons and appeared in nine games since the start of the 2018 season.

The Alabama native saw his most action in 2019, appearing in five games and rushing for a 22-yard touchdown against South Florida. Adair, who has two years of eligibility left, threw just one career touchdown pass, which came against UConn in 2018. He attempted 21 passes over three seasons. Adair is the third quarterback - and 13th Tigers player overall - to opt out, transfer or take a leave of absence since August. - Memphis Commercial Appeal

11/24/20 - Brady White, rSr/2021, Memphis, 6-1, 210 (DS#13 QB) + More +

There's a new passing touchdown king at Memphis and it's Brady White. White's 48-yard pass to Tahj Washington in the first quarter against Stephen F. Austin on Saturday gave him 82 for his career, passing Danny Wimprine for the all-time lead in Memphis history. It also came on Senior Day as White was one of 17 seniors honored pregame. White's first touchdown came in his first game in 2018 on a 45-yard pass to Damonte Coxie against Mercer. It's another record in his Tigers career as White's 24 wins are the most by a Memphis starting quarterback. He's also approaching Wimprine's school record of 10,215 passing yards as White entered Saturday with 9.438 passing yards.

"When I first stepped on campus, I didn't think about crap for records. I thought about just bringing in wins to this program and helping this program elevate," White said this week. "My first year, I think I said after the bowl game it was a great learning experience and a really good environment to be thrown into. "At the end of the day, I hope to be all-time guy in every area. That'd be great but that's not my focus and that's not my goal...I want to win as much as possible, however that comes, is what matters." - Memphis Commercial Appeal

Another Memphis football player entered the transfer portal and it's one with a familiar last name. Freshman running back Kory Gainwell, the younger brother of Kenneth Gainwell, announced Thursday on Twitter that he was transferring. Gainwell was a late addition to the Tigers' 2020 recruiting class after he committed in January. He did not appear in any games this season with the Tigers given the depth they had at running back. Kory Gainwell is the 11th Memphis player to opt out, transfer or take a personal leave of absence since preseason camp in August. Kenneth Gainwell opted out the week before the team's season opener, citing three family members who died from COVID-19. - Memphis Commercial Appeal

Brady McBride threw for five touchdowns, and Calvin Hill's six-yard run with 34 seconds left sent Texas State past Arkansas State 47-45 on Saturday. McBride threw for 443 yards, and Logan Bonner and Layne Hatcher combined to throw for 462 yards and four touchdowns for the Red Wolves in a game that saw a total of six lead changes. McBride threw a 14-yard scoring pass to Trevis Graham Jr. to put Texas State (2-9, 2-5 Sun Belt Conference) ahead 24-10 with 9:56 left before halftime.

Arkansas State (3-6, 1-5) rallied with four touchdowns - a pair before halftime - and led 38-27 with 13:50 left in the game. But McBride led the Texas State comeback, throwing a 5-yard scoring pass to Marcell Barbee a little more than two minutes later. He connected with Graham again, this time on a 15-yard scoring pass, and the Bobcats led 41-38. Arkansas State then used a 12-play, 65-yard drive that took more than five minutes that ended with Jamal Jones scoring from a yard out for the Red Wolves' last lead of the game. Jeremiah Haydel helped give Texas State a shorter field to work with returning the ensuing kickoff 41 yards to the Texas State 43-yard line. - AP College Football
