Clash at Davis Wade Stadium: Memphis Tigers Take on Mississippi State Bulldogs in College Football Showdown
As the Memphis Tigers gear up to face the Mississippi State Bulldogs at Davis Wade Stadium, fans are brimming with anticipation. The upcoming game promises to be a thrilling encounter, and based on recent performances, the Tigers have reasons to be cautiously optimistic.
Looking back at their last home game on November 28, 2021, against Tulane Green Wave, the Tigers emerged victorious with a score of 33-28. The offense was firing on all cylinders as they racked up an impressive 392 total yards. The passing game was particularly effective; completing 27 out of 42 attempts for 336 yards and three touchdowns shows that when they're in sync, this team can move the ball through the air with deadly efficiency.
The defense also had a standout performance in that game. They held their ground by not allowing any turnovers and forcing three fumbles – two of which were recovered by Memphis – showcasing their ability to create opportunities and capitalize on them.
However, it wasn't all smooth sailing for MEM. In an away game against Houston Cougars on November 20, they suffered a defeat with a scoreline of 31-13. Despite putting up some resistance – including two interceptions – it wasn't enough to overcome Houston's offense.
In another close encounter against East Carolina Pirates on November 13 at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium, MEM narrowly lost by one point (30-29). This was despite an exceptional defensive effort that included six sacks and eight tackles for loss among other stats.
These past games reveal a pattern: when MEM's offense is clicking and their defense is causing turnovers while keeping pressure high; they stand a strong chance of winning games even against tough opponents.
Mississippi State Bulldogs will undoubtedly pose challenges for MEM; however, if history has taught us anything about this resilient team from Memphis University is that they should never be counted out prematurely. With strategic play-calling and execution similar to what we saw during their win over Tulane Green Wave last season - especially in terms of passing efficiency - there's every chance that MEM could leave Starkville with heads held high.
Fans eager to support their team can catch all the action live from Davis Wade Stadium at Scott Field in Starkville on September 3rd at approximately 6:30 PM local time (11:30 PM UTC). The broadcast will be available via ESPNU satellite channel number 208. Don't miss what promises to be an exciting chapter in college football!
