MEMPHIS, Tenn. – The Gerald J. Ford Stadium staff may want to hang signs on both team entrances Saturday. The signs should read: "Beware offenses! Interception-happy defenses inside!"
When the University of Memphis and SMU meet Saturday in Dallas, both offenses need to be on high alert, as the Tigers' and Mustangs' defenses love to create havoc – and turnovers. Saturday's game kicks off at 3 p.m. (CT), and ESPNews is televising the contest.
Memphis ranks third nationally with 20 takeaways through eight games, and SMU is fifth in the nation in the same statistical category with 18 takeaways.
