Do you think there is a single player at Memphis who wouldn't have rather have gone to Tennessee? This is more important to Memphis than a conference game and they rested last week, taking advantage of their off week to install new defensive schemes after defensive coordinator Joe Lee Dunn got fired.  Tennessee is likely already looking ahead to their revenge encounter with rival Georgia. 

This is simply a much more important game for Memphis.  Last year Memphis nearly won in Knoxville despite not having the services or RB DeAngelo Williams.   Look for Memphis to be right in there in this game, and don't be surprised if our fellow sharks drive the line on this game down shortly before gametime. 

Sharks will bet this game with reduced juice at Pinnacle Sportsbook!
