After a coaching change last December and 71 new players on the roster, the Charles Huff era of Memphis Tigers football began last weekend with a 27-21 victory over UNLV in Las Vegas.
Before the game, we didn’t know much about the team. We didn’t even know who the starting quarterback was until hours before kickoff.
But, after Saturday, some questions have been answered.
The Daily Memphian’s Tigers sports reporter Frank Bonner is here to talk about the game, what it could mean for the rest of the season and some very recent changes to the stadium’s party patio.
