Marcus Stokes named American Conference Offensive Player of the Week

Marcus Stokes was named the American Offensive Player of the Week after his performance Saturday night against Army. Stokes completed 82.9 percent of his passes for 371 yards, four touchdowns and no interceptions, and he added another touchdown with his legs.

It’s the fifth time he’s thrown for more than 300 yards this season, and he became the first Tiger to have back-to-back games accounting for five or more touchdowns.

Memphis has an open date this week before traveling to Tampa for a Thursday night matchup against USF next week.
