The Memphis Tigers will play host this week to an Arkansas team that looked impressive against now-No. 13 Ole Miss last Saturday.
Kickoff is at 11 a.m. this Saturday, Sept. 20, at Simmons Bank Liberty Stadium, and it will be the first time the Tigers play on ABC since their 1-point victory over Central Florida on Oct. 17, 2020.
The Tigers have played five home games against power conference schools in the last 10 years, including three SEC opponents. Memphis is 5-0 in those games. Current head coach Ryan Silverfield was the Tigers’ head coach in one of the outings, and he was an assistant coach during three of them.
