In their previous three games, the SMU Mustangs have showcased exceptional performances from several key players. Linebacker Richard Moore has been a standout player, recording 4 tackles, 2 assists, 1 sack, and 1 forced fumble in their last game against Tulane Green Wave. His strong defensive presence has been crucial for the team's success.


Another top performer for the SMU Mustangs is quarterback Tanner Mordecai. In the past three games, Mordecai has thrown for a total of 305 yards with a completion percentage of 64.9%. He has also thrown 3 touchdowns and only 1 interception. Mordecai's ability to lead the offense and make accurate passes has been instrumental in their victories.


Running back Ulysses Bentley IV has also made significant contributions to the team's success. In the last three games, Bentley has rushed for a total of 61 yards with an average of 3.8 yards per carry. He has scored 1 touchdown and gained crucial first downs for the team.


Wide receiver Danny Gray has been a reliable target for Mordecai in recent games. Gray has caught a total of 6 passes for 51 yards with an average of 8.5 yards per reception. His ability to create separation and make clutch catches has helped move the chains for the Mustangs.


On defense, safety Chace Cromartie and linebacker Isaac Slade-Matautia have also played key roles in shutting down opposing offenses. Cromartie recorded 1 tackle and assisted on 2 tackles in their last game, while Slade-Matautia contributed with 4 tackles and 3 assists.


Looking at the overall performance of the SMU Mustangs over the past three games, they have shown great strength on both offense and defense. The team's average passing yards per game is 282.7, while their rushing yards per game is 52.3. They have scored an average of 31 points per game and allowed an average of 19 points per game.


The Memphis Tigers, on the other hand, have had some standout players of their own. Running back Brandon Thomas has rushed for a total of 56 yards with an average of 3.7 yards per carry and scored 1 touchdown in their last game against UCF Knights.


Quarterback Seth Henigan has been a reliable passer for the Tigers, throwing for a total of 463 yards with a completion percentage of 59.6%. He has thrown 2 touchdowns and suffered 2 interceptions.


Wide receiver Calvin Austin III has been a primary target for Henigan, recording a total of 200 receiving yards with an average of 15.4 yards per reception. He has caught passes for crucial first downs and helped move the chains for the Tigers.


Defensively, linebacker JJ Russell has been a force to be reckoned with. Russell has recorded 4 tackles and assisted on 7 tackles in their last game against UCF Knights.


Based on these performances, it is clear that Richard Moore's defensive presence will be crucial for the SMU Mustangs in this upcoming matchup against the Memphis Tigers. However, they should not underestimate the talent and determination of players like Brandon Thomas and Calvin Austin III from the Tigers.


Both teams have shown great potential in recent games, but it will ultimately come down to execution on the field. The SMU Mustangs will look to continue their winning streak and secure another victory against the Memphis Tigers.
