After a massive win against Arkansas, the Memphis Tigers are set to begin their American Conference schedule Saturday (6 p.m. CT, ESPN2) against Florida Atlantic in Boca Raton, Florida.
FAU (1-2) is coming off a bye week. Its last game was a 38-28 loss to Florida International on Sept. 13.
As long as the Tigers (4-0) aren’t still celebrating last Saturday’s win, Memphis shouldn’t have any problem putting FAU away. The Tigers are two-touchdown favorites, as of Thursday night.
