UT Martin vs Memphis Pick
Memphis should be motivated to respond after falling to Boise State last week. UT Martin has already faced a difficult FBS opponent and was overwhelmed by West Virginia, allowing 52 points while scoring only 7. The Skyhawks have been unable to generate touchdowns through the air, which will make it difficult to keep pace with Stokes and the Memphis offense. Carter should consistently find running room against an overmatched defensive front, allowing Memphis to control the game from the outset. Look for the Tigers to build a large early advantage and use their depth to finish the job.
