In 2015, the University of Memphis Tigers surprised many by winning their first eight games, which included a 13-point victory against No. 13 University of Mississippi.
At 8-0, the team had an AAC Championship on their mind, but then they lost their next four games, including one against the Cougars, and their bowl game. The Tigers finished last year’s campaign at 9-4.
Memphis tried to rebound after losing QB Paxton Lynch to the NFL Draft, but a successor remains undetermined. With a loaded receiving corp and four returning running backs, the new QB should hit the ground running.
