Memphis coach Ryan Silverfield said Tuesday that sophomore running back Cameron Fleming will miss the rest of the season with an injury suffered in the season opener against Arkansas State. Silverfield said on Sept. 22 that Fleming would be out "for the foreseeable future" but didn't provide a timeline. Fleming, who played defensive back last season, was hurt after his first carry against Arkansas State and was seen on the sidelines wearing an air cast during the second half. Junior running back Marquavius Weaver had the third-most carries at against SMU and looked effective behind Rodrigues Clark and Kylan Watkins. He and sophomore Asa Martin will share backup duties as both are listed on the Tigers' depth chart behind Clark and Watkins against UCF on Saturday (2:30 p.m., ABC). - Memphis Commercial Appeal

10/05/20 - Brady White, rSr/2021, Memphis, 6-1, 210 (DS#13 QB) + More +

Brady White was blunt in giving SMU credit for winning 30-27 Saturday. The Memphis quarterback was equally blunt describing his three turnovers, including a fumble that set up SMU's game-winning drive in the final minutes. "They obviously did enough to win but we should've definitely won that game," White said. "I've got to do a better job at capitalizing to help this offense take advantage of those changes (the defense) gives us and obviously finishing the game off there at the end." Memphis shouldn't have been in position to win in Dallas after trailing 24-3 in the second quarter. The Tigers looked slow and rusty after 28 days off due to a COVD-19 outbreak, and White's two first-half interceptions didn't help.

Yet there the Tigers (1-1, 0-1 AAC) were with 3:14 left. White led a drive into SMU territory thanks to a 32-yard pass to Calvin Austin III. There was hope Riley Patterson, who equaled a school and AAC record with a 56-yard field goal, would deliver once again. White's fumble, courtesy of a strip sack by SMU's Junior Aho, sealed the Tigers' fate. "At the end, you got to hold the ball no matter what," White said. "I had two hands on it but can't cough it up." After 11 days of not practicing and two weeks of transitioning back, it was easy to explain the Tigers' poor performance. The secondary gave up two long touchdowns to SMU receiver Reggie Roberson on third-down plays. - Memphis Commercial Appeal

Linebacker Tyler Murray, a transfer from Troy, had 14 tackles (one for a loss), an interception, forced a fumble and recovered a fumble. That wasn't too surprising, since Murray had played well against App State before. 49ers coaches were sold on Murray after he decided to transfer when they watched video of him in a Trojans game against the Mountaineers in 2018 (he had eight tackles). - Charlotte Observer

SEPT 14 CONFERENCE USA DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Charlotte junior LB Tyler Murray posted double-digit tackles and played a role in three key turnovers as Charlotte battled Appalachian State. The Jacksonville, Florida, native recovered a fumble to thwart an App State scoring drive at the Charlotte one-yard line on their first possession of the game. His third-quarter interception stopped another drive into the red zone and his forced fumble at the Mountaineers 20-yard line gave Charlotte a chance to tie midway through the fourth quarter. The transfer from Troy finished the game with 14 tackles, 1.0 TFL, a FR, a FF and an INT in his 49ers debut. - Conference USA Football

Sean Dykes got a text from former teammate Joey Magnifico before Memphis began its season Saturday. It was two words. Let's go. After missing most of last season with a knee injury, Dykes badly wanted to be the player he was in 2018. He got his chance in the Tigers' 37-24 victory against Arkansas State at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium. The senior tight end had two touchdowns, a career-high 10 catches and his first 100-yard receiving game since 2017. Dykes also had the Tigers' longest play from scrimmage, a 38-yard catch that set up a field goal It sure seemed Dykes was back.

"It felt good to be back out there for the first time, it felt like, in two years. It felt like a big relief off my shoulders because I've been being patient," said Dykes, who finished with 137 receiving yards. Dykes' second touchdown gave the Tigers a 34-17 lead in third quarter. He was targeted 10 times and did not record a drop. It was what he hoped to do last season alongside Magnifico and prove that his 161 receiving yards in the 2017 AAC Championship game wasn't a fluke. But after he played in the first four games of the 2019 season, the Tigers decided to shut him down to heal. Dykes had to watch the best season in school history as a spectator. - Memphis Commercial Appeal

Despite entering the season as defending AAC champions, Memphis was ranked third in the AAC football preseason media poll. The Tigers received two first place votes and were behind UCF and Cincinnati. UCF received 10 first place votes and 204 points overall and Cincinnati received seven first place votes and 201 total points. Memphis earned 192 points, 46 more than SMU. Navy, which was fifth, was the only other team to receive a first place vote. The preseason media poll usually gets released in July around AAC Media Day and its annual summer kickoff but it was delayed when both events were canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Tigers won the AAC championship last year after defeating Cincinnati 29-24 in the championship game. They shared the championship in 2014 with UCF and Cincinnati. - Memphis Commercial Appeal

University of Arkansas freshman receiver Shamar Nash has elected to opt out on the 2020 football season, sources have told the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette. Nash, a 6-3, 215-pounder from Memphis, would be missing a second consecutive season of competition by opting out, as he redshirted last season. Nash, who finished his prep career at IMG Academy in Bradenton, Fla., was a four-star prospect and part of the Razorbacks' big crop of wide receiver signees in 2019 along with Treylon Burks, Trey Knox and TQ Jackson. Jackson entered the transfer portal in the winter and landed at SMU. - Northwest Arkansas Times

09/02/20 - *Kenneth Gainwell, rSo/2021, Memphis, 5-08, 201 (DS#5 RB) + More +

Ryan Silverfield's first home game as Memphis head coach will be a challenge against an Arkansas State team on Saturday whose offense is just as potent as the Tigers. However, the Tigers now have to prepare without their most dynamic playmaker as All-American running back Kenneth Gainwell decided Sunday to opt out of the season. Silverfield did not address Gainwell specifically Monday and added that he'd only discuss players who opted out once their paperwork was signed or if they made the decision public.. He also said he stands behind any player who decided not to play this season.

"I always talk to them about the different situations but for health and safety reasons, or whatever they may choose to be opting out. I will support them and I think that's the right thing to do," Silverfield said. Gainwell's father, Curtis Sr., told The Commercial Appeal Sunday that his son decided to opt out following the death of an uncle due to COVID-19. Gainwell Sr. added the family has lost four relatives to the virus. "He decided that he didn't want take any chances with the coronavirus going on. You don't want to to get out there and get sick and bring it to us, his brother or his teammates," Gainwell Sr. said. - Memphis Commercial Appeal

2021 SENIOR BOWL WATCH LIST: Damonte Coxie, Memphis,...Coxie has posted back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons, becoming just the second Tiger (Anthony Miller) to do so in program history. The Reserve, Louisiana native finished 2019 with a career-high 1,276 receiving yards and helped lead Memphis to over 4,000 receiving yards for the second time ever. Coxie eclipsed the 100-yard receiving mark in six contests last year, with five of those performances coming during the final seven games of the season. In Memphis' American Athletic Conference Championship win over Cincinnati, Coxie pulled in a season-high 165 yards on nine catches. - Memphis Football

The Tigers just missed being ranked in the poll, which was released Monday, for the first time in school history. They were ranked 26th overall and received 86 votes, 47 behind No. 25 Tennessee. Cincinnati was ranked No. 20, and Central Florida was ranked No. 21, the only non-Power Five conference teams ranked. Clemson was No. 1 followed by Ohio State, Alabama, Georgia and Oklahoma. Memphis was ranked No. 17 in the final AP Top 25 last season, its highest end-of-year ranking in school history. The Tigers also weren't ranked in the preseason Amway Coaches Top 25 poll this month. But that could change after their season opener Sept. 5. - Memphis Commercial Appeal
