Tigers open American Athletic Conference play at Navy

MEMPHIS, Tenn. – What would have happened a year ago this week will take place Saturday at Annapolis, Md.

For the first time since 2010, the University of Memphis will open conference play two weeks into the season when the Tigers play Navy in an American Athletic Conference game at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium. CBS Sports Network will carry the game, which kicks off at 2:30 p.m. CT.

Memphis was scheduled to battle UCF in AAC play the second week of last season, but the path of Hurricane Irma intervened and the game was moved to Sept.
