MEMPHIS, Tenn. – The University of Memphis football schedule had three games times and television partners revealed Thursday, including the Tigers' season-opener against regional foe Ole Miss.
Memphis will open the 2019 schedule on August 31 with an 11 a.m. game against Ole Miss on ABC. This will be the fifth straight season Memphis has had a game selected for that national slot. Prior to the 2015 meeting with Ole Miss, the Tigers had not had a game broadcast over-the-air since a 21-17 win over then No. 6 Tennessee on Nov. 9, 1996 (CBS). In its first return to the over-the-air game, Memphis downed visiting Ole Miss, 37-24.
