Safety Chris Bracy has had an interesting beginning to the Memphis Tigers football season.
The first-year transfer from UAB earned a starting spot in the season opener but was replaced in the starting lineup after Week 2. Bracy only appeared in 10 defensive snaps in a Week 3 win at Troy, according to PFF.com.
