Jason and John discussed University of Memphis Coach Charles Huff game week comments about Tulane's "Championship DNA" and other comments on Wednesday's (10/14) J&J Show. (AUDIO):

  • Friday night on ESPN: Memphis visits Tulane on October 16 at 6:30 p.m. Central at Yulman Stadium in New Orleans.
  • Tigers carrying momentum: Memphis enters 5–1 overall and 2–0 in the American, riding three straight wins. The Tigers have outscored their first two conference opponents, Charlotte and UAB, 97–21.
  • Strong finish against UAB: Memphis erased a 13–10 halftime deficit with 28 unanswered second-half points in a 38–13 victory. Jaylin Carter rushed for 132 yards, and the Tigers forced three turnovers.
  • Marcus Stokes leads the offense: The Memphis quarterback has 1,535 passing yards and a 16-to-3 touchdown-to-interception ratio. Protecting the football will be a key talking point in a conference road game.
  • Carter and Tipton are names to watch: Carter leads Memphis with 645 rushing yards, while tight end Hunter Tipton leads the team with 367 receiving yards. Preview angle: can Tulane contain the ground game without opening up opportunities through the air?
  • Tulane needs a bounce-back: The Green Wave are 2–3 overall and 0–1 in conference, coming off a 20–17 loss at Army. However, Tulane is 2–0 at home, with wins over South Alabama and Southern Miss.
  • Recent history favors the Green Wave: Memphis leads the all-time series 25–16–1, but Tulane has won three of the last four, including 38–32 last season. Memphis won its last trip to New Orleans, 34–24 in 2024.
  • A sixth win is within reach: A victory would make Memphis 6–1 and 3–0 in conference, reaching the six-win bowl threshold and keeping the Tigers unbeaten in American play.
