Part one of two: The second edition breaking down Memphis’ performance as a team this season will be released Thursday.
Following Saturday’s inexplicable loss to the Tulsa Golden Hurricane, the Cougars return to TDECU Stadium Thursday after a short week of preparation to face the Memphis Tigers.
Memphis returns with the vast majority of its major contributors from last season, and they will be looking for a repeat of last year’s success against the Cougars in Tennessee. Few will forget the 44-48 defeat Houston was handed the day after Thanksgiving, where the players not only lost the game — but also their coach days later.
