Here’s why Memphis’ offense has been so successful without Paxton Lynch

If the last time you paid attention to Memphis football was one season ago when they upset Ole Miss and caused you* to send mostly incoherent all-caps text messages that demanded everyone get fired, you should know that the Tigers are back to their winning ways in 2016. Despite the loss of star quarterback Paxton Lynch and head coach Justin Fuente, this year’s version of Memphis is still burning up the scoreboard.

In two games against Kansas and Bowling Green, Memphis’ offense has scored 14 touchdowns (106 points) and produced 1,029 yards of offense.
