The Memphis Tigers have been one of the more consistent teams in the AAC this season, starting 4-1 with a balanced approach on offense and defense. Quarterback Seth Henigan has led the way with over 1,200 passing yards and 10 touchdowns. His ability to spread the ball around has kept opposing defenses guessing, and the Tigers’ offense is averaging 33 points per game. Running back Mario Anderson has been an effective complement, averaging 5.2 yards per carry, adding a ground threat that prevents teams from focusing solely on the pass. Defensively, Memphis has been stout, allowing just 20.8 points per game. Their secondary has been particularly effective, holding opponents to under 220 passing yards per game. This could be a crucial factor against South Florida, whose passing game has been inconsistent at best. The Tigers’ defense also excels at creating turnovers, which they will look to exploit against a South Florida team that has struggled with ball security. Memphis will aim to start strong and put pressure on South Florida from the opening kickoff. If they can build an early lead, it will force the Bulls into predictable passing situations, which plays right into the strengths of Memphis’ defensive scheme. Overall, the Tigers are expected to control the pace of the game and should have the upper hand unless South Florida can find a way to limit their offensive firepower.
