USF vs Memphis Preview
After winning two in a row Memphis ran into a roadblock last week against Cincinnati, falling 49-10 against the top 10 squad. That being said, the Tigers still managed 316 yards of offense, but just weren’t able to translate the yards into points. Meanwhile, the Memphis defense allowed 513 yards.
“Do we sit here and talk about what occurred in the past? No, but they understand a lot of chips are on the table for this one,” coach Ryan Silverfield said Monday. “This is a big game, ESPN game, another morning start which we’re excited for and I think our guys will be up for that challenge.”
USF head coach Jeff Scott has the task of containing Memphis QB Brady White, who already has amassed 1,691 and 18 touchdowns this season. Memphis has showed explosive offensive ability in their three wins behind the Arizona State transfer, putting up 37 or more in each.
“Their quarterback is one of the best players in our league,” Scott said. “And they’ve got some really elite players on offense.”
Memphis is a 17-point favorite for the matchup. The total is set at 66.5 points. The total has gone over in four of South Florida’s last five games. Memphis are 1-7 against the spread in their last eight games.
“We’re not very pleased at all with our record and execution to this point, but this has allowed us to get to the very bottom of adversity and kind of find out how our guys are going to respond. We’ve had a lot of teachable moments,” Scott said. “The biggest thing is to respond the right way.”
The game is special to both Silverfield and Scot because they are friends away from the gridiron.
“There’s no answers to what have occurred the last six months in this pandemic and everything that’s going on in our world. As young, new head coaches, you’re kind of always looking for people to talk to,” Silverfield told the Daily Memphian. “I got a wonderful staff that I can talk to, but I can’t always go home and vent my frustrations to my wife.
“Even though we’re both competitors, I think it’s good to bounce ideas off of each other and talk about things.”
