Jaylin Carter rushes for four touchdowns in Memphis win over Arkansas State

Running back Jaylin Carter tied a Memphis program record with four rushing touchdowns as the Tigers defeated Arkansas State 42-24 on Saturday. Playing in his first home game at Liberty Stadium, Carter totaled 183 rushing yards to lead a dominant ground performance that generated 335 yards for the offense. The contest remained competitive in the first half with Arkansas State leading three times, but four interceptions thrown by quarterback Trey Owens hampered the visitors' ability to keep pace. Memphis utilized a strong second-half effort to secure the win, extending its winning streak in the Paint Bucket Bowl series to 13 years. The Tigers now move to 2-0 on the season and prepare to travel for a non-conference matchup against Boise State. Arkansas State, falling to 0-1, is scheduled to host FCS West Georgia next week.
