The Memphis Tigers had a convincing 49-22 win over Army on Halloween night. They played a complete game on both sides of the ball, and quarterback Marcus Stokes totaled five touchdowns for the second straight week. The defense handled business on third downs and forced an Army team that had two turnovers all season to throw two interceptions.
