A look at Memphis, which comes Friday to Raymond James Stadium
Nickname: Tigers
Record: 4-0 (Defeated Missouri State, 63-7; Kansas, 55-23; Bowling Green, 44-41; Cincinnati, 53-46)
Coach: Justin Fuente (fourth season, 21-20)
The breakdown: Memphis, 5-31 in the three years prior to Fuente's arrival, has won 11 in a row dating to last season. To this point, only Baylor (64.0 ppg) and Ole Miss (54.8) are scoring more than the Tigers (53.8), whose starting offense features seven seniors and two juniors. Sixteen of Memphis' 23 big plays (20 or more yards) have come in the passing game, where 6-foot-7 redshirt junior Paxton Lynch (83-for-113, 1,230 yards, eight TDs, no INTs) is emerging as a fringe Heisman candidate.
