Lynch injures foot in 31-10 victory over Arkansas State
MEMPHIS -- A dominating performance by the Memphis defense was overshadowed when QB Paxton Lynch hobbled off the field early in the 3rd quarter. Leading 24-0, Lynch came up limping after a rushing attempt and would not return to the game.
Even as the offense ground to a halt, the defense continued suffocating the Red Wolves, registering 6 sacks and forcing 5 turnovers on the day. Junior CB Steve Perez was responsible for 4 of those turnovers, intercepting 3 passes and recovering 1 fumble.
The win moves Memphis to 3-0 on the season.
