Scout memphis tigers

The Volunteers and Commodores begin their respective conference schedules this weekend, and they both get major tests. Tennessee has to go on the road to play Florida — a team that just went toe-to-toe with No. Vanderbilt hosts Georgia and its stifling defense in Nashville.

Late in the fourth quarter of the game, the Tigers returned a punt for a touchdown, even though the ball appeared to be downed by the Bulldogs.

Coaches Poll: Penn St. Wiley, Harmanson, and Bell live in the backfield and can get to the quarterback quickly. Arguably no team in the AAC entered shadowed by a larger question mark than Memphis.

To get an idea of how impressive that is through three games, three players tied for the national lead in with 16 apiece. Another name in the secondary to note is strong safety Sanchez Blake Jr.
