Where does Memphis football go next after Houston collapse
Welcome to another week of the Memphis Football Podcast! Columnist Mark Giannotto and beat writer Evan Barnes return to discuss the aftermath of the Tigers' shocking 33-32 loss to Houston despite leading by 19 points in the fourth quarter.
Fans might question decisions from Friday's loss but while Evan noted how many past issues this season flared up in the collapse, Mark takes a different view on what decisions coach Ryan Silverfield were baffling or understandable. The duo discuss how Memphis can avoid a similar situation to last season where the Tigers suffered a collapse against UTSA and it led to a three-game losing streak that derailed the 2021 campaign.
The episode wraps up looking at Saturday's game at East Carolina (6:30 p.m., ESPNU). At 4-2, Memphis is right where many expected to be, including us, but can they get right against a tough ECU offense? How important will this game be given that a red-hot Tulane team is lurking next week?
