ATLANTA — Sutton Smith and Makari Bodiford each ran for two touchdowns, and Memphis extended two notable streaks with a 38-16 win over Georgia State on Saturday night at Center Parc Stadium.
The Tigers (2-0) notched their 12th straight victory against a Sun Belt opponent and scored at least 20 points for the 42nd consecutive game — the longest active streak in FBS football.
Smith opened the scoring with a 16-yard run before Bodiford added touchdowns of 7 and 1 yards, the latter coming late in the third quarter to make it 31-16. Quarterback Brendon Lewis was efficient, completing 16 of 20 passes for 196 yards, while also running for a 5-yard score early in the third.
