Previous 15 Notes Next 15 Notes


  Mike Norvell's biggest selling point for the 19th-ranked Memphis Tigers is how his program is built for playmakers to make plays. Lots of plays for lots of yards. Wide receiver Antonio Gibson is Memphis' latest example, setting an American Athletic Conference record with 386 all-purpose yards and three touchdowns scored three different ways in a 54-48 victory over SMU on Saturday night. "We're going to try to put guys in the best position whether it's in the backfield, split out," Norvell said. "Heck, we'll line them up wherever." Just look at what the coach did with Gibson.

The senior had 104 yards receiving by halftime thanks to a 50-yard TD catch and finished with 130, took the opening kick of the third quarter 97 yards for a TD and capped his night by taking a handoff 78 yards for his third TD. If not for officials ruling his left elbow down just outside the goal line in the first quarter, it might've been more. Norvell credits the senior with really developing over the past year. "He is a special talent, and I love seeing him play his best ball as a senior," Norvell said. - AP College Football

  Brady White threw for 350 yards and three touchdowns, Antonio Gibson had a school-record 386 all-purpose yards with three scores and No. 24 Memphis held off No. 15 SMU 54-48 Saturday night to cap the biggest day yet in Tigers' football history. The Tigers (8-1, 4-1) handed SMU its first loss of the season and moved atop the American Athletic Conference's Western Division to improve their case to represent the Group of Five in the New Year's Six. SMU (8-1, 4-1) came in with its best start to a season since winning 1982 when the Mustangs won their first 10 games. They left having lost their sixth straight in Memphis in a series dominated by the Tigers.

Memphis started the day on display thanks to ESPN's "College GameDay" on Beale Street with wrestler Jerry Lawler as the big guest, then filled the Liberty Bowl with 59,506 for the biggest crowd for an American conference game. The Tigers followed by outdueling the nation's sixth-best scoring offense, which had been averaging 43 points a game. The teams combined for 1,067 yards total offense, and SMU had its chance after scoring three TDs in the fourth quarter. Shane Buechele threw a 2-yard TD pass to James Proche with 2:06 left and went for 2 after each, converting all three. - Memphis/AP College Football

Gainwell's third touchdown run put the Tigers back on top, 42-41, with 4:26 left. Tulsa used that time to drive 63 yards to the Memphis 12, but Jacob Rainey missed a 29-yard field goal attempt as time expired. Rainey had previously made good on field goals from 32 and 26 yards and missed from 40 yards. Zach Smith threw for 309 yards and a score for the Golden Hurricane (2-6, 0-4), who have lost four straight. Cory Taylor II ran for three touchdowns. - Memphis/AP College Football

  Brady White threw five touchdown passes, Kenneth Gainwell scored three touchdowns and combined for 307 yards of offense and Memphis routed Tulane 47-17 on Saturday night.

He ranks fifth among all FBS players in yards rushing per game. - AP College Football

  Memphis has cracked the Top 25 behind the emergence of yet another impressive running back. Kenneth Gainwell has stepped in to more than just fill an unexpected void by becoming the leading rusher in the American Athletic Conference. The No. 23 Tigers lost running backs Darrell Henderson and Tony Pollard to the NFL draft. Patrick Taylor Jr., who rushed for over 1,100 yards last year, was injured in the season opener and hasn't played since. That opened the door for Gainwell to step into the spotlight. "It just made me a better player, made me a better back, really just learning as much as I could from those guys," Gainwell said.

Gainwell has run for 620 yards and has averaged 124 yards rushing per game to rank sixth among all Football Bowl Subdivision players heading into the Tigers' Saturday game at Temple (4-1, 1-0 American). The redshirt freshman is on pace to deliver the fourth 1,000-yard single-season rushing performance in the last three years for Memphis. That comes after Memphis (5-0, 1-0) didn't have a single 1,000-yard rusher from 2010-16. "We say it all the time - it's an offense that's built for playmakers," Memphis coach Mike Norvell said. "We try to go out and identify guys who can come into the system and we can really formulate plans that surround their talents and put them in position to showcase them, whether it's handing the ball to them or throwing the ball to them." - AP College Football

  Brady White threw three touchdown passes, Kenneth Gainwell ran for 209 yards and two scores, and Memphis beat Louisiana Monroe 52-33 on Saturday. Gainwell is the first freshman in program history to top 200 yards rushing and needed only 14 carries - a 14.9 average - to do it. Memphis (5-0) built a 29-10 lead in the second quarter before Louisiana Monroe got back in it. The Warhawks reduced their deficit to 39-33 with when Caleb Evans threw a 36-yard TD pass to Josh Pederson with 6:31 remaining.

But on the first play after the ensuing kickoff, Gainwell ran for a 68-yard touchdown to extend the lead to 12 points. Following the kickoff, on the Warhawks' first play, La'Andre Thomas intercepted Evans and ran it back 33 yards and a 52-33 lead. Evans threw for 286 yards and two touchdowns and ran for 112 yards on 18 carries and two scores. Josh Johnson ran for 119 yards on 19 carries for Louisiana Monroe (2-3). The Warhawks outgained Memphis 575-535 in total yardage but suffered 11 penalties for 114 yards. - Memphis/AP College Football

  Midway through the second quarter Thursday night, everything was going Navy's way. As usual, the Midshipmen were controlling the ball, their defense was living up to its new reputation as a stingy unit and Memphis was struggling on both sides of the ball with Navy holding a 20-7 lead. "They looked tired on defense," Navy coach Ken Niumatalolo said. "We felt like we had them right in our wheelhouse." Things were so bad early in the third quarter, the Memphis fans were booing quarterback Brady White. Then things changed. White led a second-half rally, finishing the game with 196 yards passing and three touchdowns as Memphis used big plays to defeat Navy 35-23. Kenneth Gainwell rushed for 104 yards, including a 75-yard touchdown on the Tigers opening play from scrimmage as Memphis (4-0, 1-0 American Athletic Conference) knocked Navy from the unbeaten ranks. - AP College Football
