In another sign of the college football season nearing kick off in the Bluff City, University of Memphis football coach Justin Fuente held his first weekly media luncheon Monday, ahead of the Tigers’ season opener against Missouri State at the Liberty Bowl Saturday.
After addressing the suspensions from the Miami Beach Bowl brawl moments before, Fuente said “I’m excited and ready to talk about something that will bring a smile to my face.”
Fuente also said he was pleased with the effort and performance with the team at camp at times, despite the team “hitting the wall” in the middle of camp.
