The Roar of the Tigers


The Memphis Tigers have been on an impressive run this season, showcasing their prowess in both offense and defense. Their recent victory over UAB Blazers by a staggering 53-18 scoreline is a testament to their dominance on the field. With a record boasting 9 wins and only 2 losses, the Tigers have proven they are not just participants but serious contenders.


A significant part of their success can be attributed to their quarterback's stellar performance, Seth Henigan, who threw for 299 yards with an astonishing completion rate of 68 percent against UAB. His ability to find his receivers and make crucial plays has been pivotal for MEM's offensive unit. Moreover, Mario Anderson Jr.'s contribution cannot be overlooked as he rushed for 138 yards on his own, highlighting MEM's balanced attack that keeps defenses guessing.

On defense, MEM has shown they can stifle opposing offenses effectively. In their last game alone, they recorded three sacks and two interceptions while limiting UAB to only 18 points. This defensive solidity will be crucial when facing Tulane's dynamic offense.


Navigating Through Green Waves


Tulane Green Wave presents its own set of challenges with a versatile offense that has troubled many defenses this season. However, based on recent performances by both teams and analyzing key statistics such as turnovers forced by MEM’s defense versus TUL’s offensive line protection issues in past games suggests that Memphis has an edge defensively.
