Makari Bodiford's 8-yard touchdown run for Memphis with about four minutes left in the fourth quarter was the only score of the second half.

Brendon Lewis had a touchdown pass and threw for 213 yards for Memphis (3-0). Led by Smith, the Tigers had 217 yards on the ground.
Troy (1-2) scored when Taleeq Robbins returned the fumble 11 yards for a touchdown after Donnie Smith of the Trojans strip-sacked Lewis in the second quarter.
