Sep 23, 2025 | Football
DALLAS – University of Memphis' Sutton Smith has been tabbed as the Doak Walker National Running Back of the Week, the SMU Athletic Forum and NCFAA announced Tuesday.
Smith, a 5-9 redshirt junior from Powder Springs, Ga., racked up 147 yards on the ground – including a 64-yard go-ahead touchdown run in the fourth quarter in the team's 32-31 win over Arkansas. Smith added in 11 yards on a punt return to total 159 all-purpose yards for the game.
Memphis is back in action this Saturday when they travel to Boca Raton to take on Florida Atlantic starting at 6 p.m. CT on ESPN2.
New this year, fans are encouraged to purchase early and save. Ticket prices will increase by $5 during game week and again by an additional $5 on game day at the Box Office. This change helps support enhanced planning for security, concessions and staffing. Historically, over 90% of single-game tickets are purchased during game week.
Season ticket prices remain unchanged from 2024, following a perfect 7-0 home campaign. With prices averaging under $25 per game, season tickets remain the best value for Tiger fans. Tickets can be purchased online at GoTigersGo.com or by calling the Memphis Ticket Office at (901) 678-2331.
