Memphis Outlook
The Tigers quest to defend their title officially ended last week when they lost to Tulane, and we saw more names hit the transfer portal. Is this a sign they’re headed for a rebuild? Who knows, but the Tigers are looking to end their regular season on a high note. Calvin Austin III continues his dominance out wide, and will give Houston plenty to worry about in the passing game. Brady White knows he can find Austin and Sean Dykes downfield consistently, which helps when the run game isn’t contributing consistently.
