North Texas gave Memphis all it could handle last year. The Tigers needed a 36-yard touchdown pass with 10 seconds left to nip the Mean Green, 45-42.

The Mean Green are much better this season at 5-1 after going 5-7 last season.

North Texas can trade points with Memphis with the fourth-best passing attack in the nation. Mean Green QB Chandler Morris has thrown 20 TD passes and nearly 2,000 yards this season. The Mean Green's 40.8 points per game average ranks 14th in the nation.

Memphis is going to get its points, but I find the Tigers overrated. They only managed 21 points in beating South Florida last week. The 2-4 Bulls were without their starting quarterback, Byrum Brown, and were distracted by a hurricane in their region.

Except for Navy, Memphis has played a bunch of bad offenses. The Tigers couldn't step up against Navy losing, 56-44.
