Key Analysis
Memphis's efficient offense, led by Stokes's five-touchdown outing, proved too much for Army to handle. The Tigers' dominance on third down kept drives alive and wore down the Black Knights' defense. With the win, Memphis solidifies its position in the American Conference, while Army looks to regroup before hosting Air Force next Saturday. Memphis will visit South Florida on November 12.
