Memphis Tigers vs. Arkansas State Red Wolves 9/9/23 –In an enticing college football showdown, the Memphis Tigers, holding a promising 1-0 start, are gearing up to face the Arkansas State Red Wolves, who are currently 0-1 this season. Both teams are eager to demonstrate their prowess on the field, and let’s see who will come out on top.
The Tigers boast a strong offensive front, which is evident from their previous games. One of their standout performers is Sutton Smith. The running back has showcased exceptional talent with 18 rushing attempts leading to 115 rushing yards. His impressive average of 6.4 yards per rush and the longest rush of 16 yards suggests that he’s a significant threat in the ground game. Then, there’s Demeer Blankumsee. The wide receiver, with 6 receptions resulting in 98 receiving yards and an average of 16.3 yards per reception, is another force to be reckoned with. His longest reception of 47 yards and 1 receiving touchdown indicates his big-play capability.
While the Red Wolves might be trailing in their win-loss record, it’s premature to write them off entirely. Jaxon Dailey, their running back, might not have staggering stats with just 3 rushing attempts and 11 yards, but his potential on the field cannot be overlooked. On the receiving end, Courtney Jackson has been quite the revelation. Securing 3 receptions with a total of 66 receiving yards, his stats display his deep-threat capabilities. An average of 22 yards per reception and a long reception of 47 yards makes him a player the Tigers will need to watch closely. Check out our free football handicapping picks for more insights.
