Can the University of Memphis match last year's nine regular-season wins? Can the Tigers live up to preseason predictions and capture the American Athletic Conference's West Division? A schedule breakdown is in order...
Sept. 5 vs. Missouri State, 6 p.m.
If you’re expecting another 63-0 snoozer in the season-opener, prepare to be disappointed. Missouri State is by no means an FCS powerhouse, but it should provide more of a challenge than Austin Peay did last year. The Bears played Oklahoma State somewhat close in Stillwater last year, losing 40-23, and had a 28-14 loss at Iowa the year before.
