Where Memphis landed in college football polls after win over Army

Memphis football has bounced back from a devastating loss to Tulane with back-to-back wins, and the Tigers are getting some recognition in the polls. The Tigers (7-2, 4-1 American Conference) beat Army 49-22 on Oct. 31 . They received two voting points in the US LBM Coaches Poll that was released on Nov. 1. No team from the American cracked the Top 25, but UTSA and North Texas — both undefeated in conference play — also received votes in the poll. The Tigers did not receive any votes in the AP Poll. Memphis has an open week before traveling to face South Florida on Nov. 12 (7 p.m., ESPN). After that, Memphis plays at Navy and at home against Temple to wrap up the regular season. The Tigers have a shot to reach the American title game if they keep winning. UTSA and North Texas will play each other later this month, meaning at least one of them will have a conference loss. Memphis does not have to play either of those teams this season. Reach sports writer Jonah Dylan at jonah.dylan@commercialappeal.com or on X @thejonahdylan.

Loyalty Important to DL Kellan Hall, No. 1 Recruit in Junior Class

Draper Hall played football at the University of Memphis but he never forced his son, Kellan, to play football. “We put him in gymnastics. He was a black belt in taekwondo. We put him in wrestling so he would understand the physicality of the sport and overcome that. He won a state title in wrestling in Arkansas and was second nationally as a 5 or 6 years old,” said Draper Hall. “He learned flexibility in gymnastics. Taekwondo and wrestling helped him physically a lot.”

Memphis basketball, Penny Hardaway starting with colossal stakes, clear goals

Pressure. Even if Penny Hardaway doesn’t feel any as he stares down his ninth season as Memphis basketball coach, it’s there. Even if Tigers athletic director Ed Scott knows pressure can create diamonds, he’s also aware it can bust pipes. Even if point guard Jayden Reid says it’s there, he’s also quick to point out that everything at stake for Hardaway, Scott and the program is partially why he — and others — came to Memphis in the first place. “This is what we want,” Reid said in an exclusive interview with The Commercial Appeal. “With our schedule, you know, with how much faith (Hardaway is) putting in me — especially in a big year coming up for Memphis. “So, obviously, it’s a lot of responsibility. Not only for me, but the whole team.” The reasons why this year is so big have been exhaustively chronicled. For all the notable accomplishments during Hardaway’s tenure — 12 wins over Top 25 opponents, three March Madness appearances in the past five seasons, two American Conference tournament titles — the unremarkable has haunted the Tigers. They are coming off their worst season since the Nixon administration, they are grappling with dwindling attendance numbers,
