    Memphis definitely gets hyped up for a SEC game. I believe they beat OM the last two times OM played there. We should win the game on talent, but it will be a contest. We can't make mistakes and kill our own drives. Score score score.

    Our defense will be their toughest test so far. I like what I saw from the defense this weekend and if we carry that effort over to next Saturday. I really like our chances to win.

    State 35. Memphis 17

    I'm pretty sure 1993 was our last loss to them. I worked with a former Memphis Tiger player. He told me more than once about how good they looked in practice. I was young and talking smack. That was a tough Monday.

    I think 2003 was their next best chance to beat us. They had a really good team with Deangelo Williams. We were bad. I thought for sure they'd beat us. They didn't. Good win that day. The day Jackie and Tommy West had a long post game hand shake.

    Oh....that was nasty. Involved JLD. Lived in same complex with Tulane's DC and we became friends. Same year they beat us in the Dome. He knew one of our position coaches who said he begged JWS not to fire JLD. those were not the best of times.

    I always hate this game. It is usually closer than it should be.
