One of the great joys of college football is finding the feel-good story. You know the drill: downtrodden program revived and brought to national prominence by a new coach, a new outlook, a new spirit.
This fall, it’s clear where that story resides: Memphis, Tennessee. Following Saturday’s 37-24 upset of No. 13 Ole Miss, Memphis and coach Justin Fuente are 6-0 and a story that anyone with a heart can get behind.

One year removed from the program’s first-ever 10-win season and its first bowl bid since 2008, the Tigers seem poised for much more this fall.
