Arkansas quarterback Taylen Green has prior experience with Memphis football team
Arkansas Razorbacks Face Off Against Memphis Tigers in Crucial Showdown
The Arkansas Razorbacks and the Memphis Tigers are set to square off in a highly anticipated matchup at Simmons Bank Liberty Stadium. This will be the third time Razorbacks senior quarterback Taylen Green plays in Memphis, having made his first appearance there two years ago as the starting quarterback for Boise State.
Green, who became the first player in Arkansas history to throw for at least 300 yards (305) and rush for at least 100 yards (105) in the same game, has been a force to reckon with for the Razorbacks. Through three games this season, he has passed for 866 yards and 11 touchdowns with only two interceptions. His impressive performance earned him the game's Most Valuable Player award in last year's game against Texas Tech, where he finished with 341 passing yards, 2 touchdowns, and ran for 81 yards and a TD.
Memphis, currently undefeated with a 3-0 record, is coming off a 28-7 win against Troy. Their offense is a formidable dual threat, with Nevada transfer quarterback Brendon Lewis and tailback Sutton Smith leading the charge. Lewis passed for 213 yards and ran for 41 in the win over Troy, while Smith rushed for 113 yards and two TDs.
Coach Sam Pittman of the Razorbacks has identified Memphis' inside zone and inside zone read plays as a significant challenge. He believes that to beat Memphis, it is necessary to eliminate these plays. Memphis coach Ryan Silverfield, on the other hand, spoke highly of Green, praising his talent, touch on the football, command of the offense, and ability to do it all.
The majority of the Tigers will be appearing in only their second game at Simmons Bank Liberty Stadium. Last year, Green returned to the stadium as the starting quarterback for the Razorbacks, leading them to a 39-26 victory. Arkansas, however, suffered a loss in their most recent Southeastern Conference road game, falling to then-No. 17 Ole Miss, 41-35.
This promises to be an exciting game between two talented teams. Green's performance will undoubtedly be a key factor in determining the outcome. Will he lead the Razorbacks to another victory at Simmons Bank Liberty Stadium, or will the Tigers' formidable offense prove too much to handle? Only time will tell.
