GoTigers247's Tigers on Tap Ep 6: Kick Off the Season Preview Pt 2

Tigers in 20: A Memphis Tigers Athletics podcast

Welcome back to Tigers on Tap Episode 6: Kick Off the Season Part 2.

In this episode, Trey and TJ give their full breakdown of the 2-deep depth chart from their point of view. There are a few positions that are pretty set in stone, such as the quarterback position with Seth Henigan and Ryan Glover as the 1 and 2, but there are also many positions where the starters are not yet named. Specifically, in the running back, wide receiver, and offensive line rooms.

Trey and TJ both think that redshirt sophomore, Brandon Thomas, will get the nod as the starter against Mississippi State with Asa Martin as his backup. In their opinion Brandon Thomas offers the Tigers the full running back skill set and, if he can remain healthy, will be the overall best running back the Tigers can put out on the field. Both TJ and Trey believe that true freshman running back, Sutton Smith, will get quite a bit of touches in the backfield this year based on the glowing reviews from head coach Ryan Silverfield and offensive coordinator Tim Cramsey.

The wide receiver's room is up in the air. Losing Calvin Austin III and Sean Dykes has placed a spotlight on the receivers' room as to who will be the player that will step up and fill the shoes left behind by Austin. Trey and TJ both believe that Eddie Lewis and Javon Ivory will be the wideouts that will start, but there is a plethora of guys that can step in for them when they need a break. The guys believe Markcayll Jones, Roc Taylor, Joseph Scates, and Kobe Drake will fill in admirably.

To end the first segment, they break down the offensive line depth chart, along with the defense and special teams.

In the second segment, Trey and TJ go game by game through the schedule and predict a win/loss record for the 2022 Tiger team. Listen in as they both go in great detail on why the Tigers will win or lose each game. To sum up their projected records, Trey has the Tigers going 9-3 on the year and 6-2 in the AAC. TJ has the Tigers going 8-4 overall and 5-3 in the AAC.
