MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Tiger Nation, need a positive nugget heading into Friday's University of Memphis football game? Need a "pick-me-up" statistic?
Here you go: since 2014, the Tigers are a perfect 10-0 in games not played on a Saturday. And, half of those 10 non-Saturday game victories came on the road.
The first non-Saturday road win in the streak came in 2014 when the Tigers secured bowl eligibility for the first time since 2008 with a 16-13 victory at Temple. A year later, a 66-42 win on a Friday night in Tulsa continued to elevate Memphis higher in the national polls.
