3. Memphis can score with anyone
With the exception of when they played UCF the first time and only scored 13 points they haven’t scored less than 30 points in any other game. They average 47.8 points per game which was second in the nation only behind UCF (you can’t say they don’t score points in the AAC).
This group is spearheaded by quarterback Riley Ferguson and wide receiver Anthony Miller they are the two studs on the team. Yet, they’ve also got a powerful backfield. Running back Darrell Henderson rushed for 1,154 yards and nine touchdowns this season. Not bad at all with limited carries. He almost averages 10 yards a carry (8.9 yards per carry) and he has the second most carries on the team behind Patrick Taylor Jr. (140 carries).
After scoring a season low against UCF they followed it up in the Championship game with 55 points in a classic game that went down to the wire. They have a scored over 50 points four times this season and have a season high of 70 points coming against East Carolina.
It will be tough for Iowa State to stop this offense especially this game being their first meeting of the season.
