Memphis comes into the matchup against the Temple Owls on fire, starting the season 5-0 and having a lot of Tigers fans excited for the 2019 season. The Tigers were expected to be good with a great passing attack, but have shown they have elite speed on the outside as well to break away from other teams in the conference.

The Memphis Tigers are coming off of a big win against ULM where they won 52-33 and able to compile 535 yards of offense behind an incredible rushing performance from Kenneth Gainwell. He was able to get in the endzone twice and add 209 yards on the ground to cap a great day. We should see Gainwell yet again try and break out on Saturday on the road.

Temple plays well at home and Saturday should be no different. Off to a 4-1 start and being one of the most underrated teams in the country, Temple should have a lot to prove as they come back home to Philadelphia. Look for the Owls to give the Tigers a run for their money at home and give the Tigers a bit of a scare.
