i think we will be able to run and or pass on memphis ..the key to the game in my opinion is how much time can paxton create with his feet and if he does create time, how open will his WR's be (depending on the jackson news)

That is a good one.

(11-11-2015 12:36 AM)TylerTiger Wrote:  I will say about the match-up is I don't think it being at Houston matters. At all. Memphis, strangely enough, hasn't lost on the road since we lost to Ole Miss last year. Fuente has occasionally extolled the virtues of the players seemingly being much more focused on road games, not distracted, and not bothered by being on the road, and thrive on it. (Nevermind 40,000 is nothing compared to the near 93,000 seats at the Rose Bowl last year).

What will matter, mainly, is rather or not Memphis is focused and sharp. Ward Jr. is a nightmare, and although Memphis has had some exposure to QBs that can run recently, nothing like Ward. The defense tends to make stops in crunch time, enough to give the offense a leg if they can take advantage of it. One of the big problems we had against Navy last week was that, on those stops, our offense did nothing for the most part.

I'm picking Memphis to win in a shoot out. Maybe even something similar to how the game between Memphis vs BYU went down at the Miami Beach Bowl last year.

While it didn't materialize in the Navy game, there has been a distinct difference between the 1st quarter defense and the 3rd and 4th quarter defense for the Tigers this year. Ward is a chore to keep up with and drag down, so this game may be similar to the Navy game where the defense just never really catches up, but that's not the norm for this defense.

Cincy's WR are freaks of nature. 3 of them are AVERAGING over 22 YPC.

I was getting frustrated by our long developing blitzes (like the one Stewart got the safety on), because if Gunner saw it coming, it didn't matter if it was going to get picked up or not. He didn't even have to actually find someone open, he could just heave it to one of their 6'3-6'6 manbeasts, and they were coming down with it.

im guessing you also didnt watch the game (again), gunner threw alot of jump balls, and our DB's were in position to pick it and their WR just kept yanking it from them

one of the plays actually made the conference highlight reel (at :49 seonds)
https://youtu.be/ndZQ0ILsJRY?t=49s

im not calling it luck or anything, cincy WR's are skilled and made crazy plays over an over for them
we still got 2 picks

im just saying ive watched every memphis game this year and the caliber of receiver at cincy and Memphis arent the same

"All Memphis has done is gotten lucky against BG and cinci, beat and over ranked SEC team"

I'd take that every year if I could...

This game will be all about turnovers. If Memphis plays like they did vs Navy, Houston will have a field day with our turnovers. If Memphis protects the ball like we have done most of the year and can force a turnover or 2, the Tigers win. As a Memphis fan, I hope either the Tigers win or it's at least a close game down to the final minute. The AAC needs to have a great showing every time we get a prime time game on ESPN, ESPN2 or ABC!!!! NO matter what, with 2 ranked teams playing this late in the season, the winner better be around #15 or #16 when the next playoff poll comes out.

it rained heavily the last 2 games but both those games averaged over 33 thousand tickets sold per

That is great. I love a good kick off return (most exciting play in football). However, almost 90% of our kickoffs have been touchbacks because our kicker kicks it out of the back of the endzone. That stops any weapons you have in the return game. I would love to see both teams run a few back to make the game even more exciting, but I don't think our kicker is going to allow that to happen.

Wrong, brother. The seats in blue are NOT resale seats. Those are normal seats for sale by the venue; and there are thousands available. I have no doubt that by gametime, it will be a near sell out. Maybe even a true sell out. But right now, nowhere close.
