The University of Memphis Tigers are the latest, and one of the toughest, obstacles in the Cougars’ path to a conference title. Get to know who the Cougars will be lining up against.
Overwhelming passing offense
Last season, the Memphis Tigers boasted one of the most solid offenses in the NCAA, especially when it came to passing. With then-junior QB Riley Ferguson completing 63.2 percent of his attempts, the Tigers averaged more than 300 yards and 2.6 passing touchdowns per contest, ranking among the Top-20 teams in the nation. Moreover, the Tigers had one of the most adept backfields in catching the football, with all three main running backs securing at least 10 receptions throughout the season.
