  • GoTigers247's Behind Enemy Lines Ep 8: Guerry Smith w/ NOLA.com

    GoTigers247's Behind Enemy Lines Ep 8: Guerry Smith w/ NOLA.com
    Oct 20 2022
    Welcome to Behind Enemy Lines Episode 8. In this episode we are joined by Guerry Smith, Tulane beat writer for NOLA.com and the publisher of "The Wave Report." Guerry is a lifelong New Orleans resident and has covered the Tulane Green Wave since 2011. Guerry has covered the Tulane Green Wave football team during some pretty up and down years, so we spent quite a bit of time talking about the resurgence that Tulane is experiencing this year. They come into the game against the Tigers with a record of 6-1, 3-0 in the AAC. They picked up enough votes in the AP poll to be ranked #25 for the first time in over twenty years. Tulane's resurgence can be attributed to the play of quarterback Michael Pratt and running back Tyjae Spears. Tulane also went heavy in the transfer portal this year bringing in ten players that are contributing to the team this year. Maryland transfer wide receiver Dea Dea McDougle has joined Michael Pratt, his high school teammate, and has added another threat to the offense. He has 16 receptions for 187 yards and 1 touchdown. They also boast a highly aggressive defense led by linebackers Dorian Wiliams and Nick Anderson. Memphis and Tulane have played 37 games against each other in their history, and Memphis owns a lead of 24 wins to 13 losses. Memphis comes into this game with a record of 4-3, 2-2 in the AAC. Guerry believes the biggest matchup in the game will be if Memphis' wide receivers can stretch the field on the Tulane secondary. He believes that this Tulane team is the best tackling team he has ever seen, and does not believe Memphis will be able to run the ball well against Tulane. Tulane has only given up 30 explosive plays this year, but in their previous week's game against USF, quarterback Jerry Bohanon was lighting up the Tulane secondary. Tulane pulled away in the second half due to an injury to Bohanon. He believes Memphis has the quality quarter in Seth Henigan and tall, physical receivers that could give Tulane a tough matchup. He expects that if Tulane comes in focused and not overwhelmed by the national attention they have been receiving, the Tigers will have a tough time beating Tulane on the road in New Orleans.

  • Ti20 Off the Boards: 2023 G Ryan Forrest

    Ti20 Off the Boards: 2023 G Ryan Forrest
    Oct 14 2022
    Penny Hardaway secured his first commitment for the 2023 Class in 3-star guard Ryan Forrest. Ryan is a senior at the newly established Link Academy based out of Branson, Missouri. Ryan originally played for Marion High School in Marion, Arkansas, but made the move to the elite academy during the summer of 2022. Ryan is a 6'3 shooting guard that plays a physical, aggressive and bouncy game. Ryan shares with GT247 about his decision to move to Link Academy and how playing with a roster of extremely talented players has already helped him develop his work ethic and game to a different level. Ryan grew up in the Memphis area and has been a fan of the Memphis Tigers for years. He describes the day he received an offer from Penny after an unofficial visit and how excited he was to potentially wear the Tiger uniform in college. He tells GT247 that he didn't allow himself to gloat in receiving the offer, but he was reinvigorated to continue to work hard and get himself ready to play college ball. Ryan describes himself as a tough, athletic guard who loves to attack the paint and defend hard. His mentality towards defense is that he takes pride in shutting other players down and frustrating them. He sees the Memphis style of play as a style that fits his game totally. The speed and space the Tigers employ on the offense end, plus the aggressive team defense is what sold him on accepting the offer to play for Penny Hardaway and the Tigers.

  • GoTigers247's Tigers on Tap Ep 13: Houston Review/ECU Preview

    GoTigers247's Tigers on Tap Ep 13: Houston Review/ECU Preview
    Oct 13 2022
    Welcome to Tigers on Tap Episode 13. In this episode TJ and Trey review a horrifying loss to Houston on Friday, October 7th. Memphis was double digits heading into the final five minutes of the game, and Trey and TJ detail ALL the things that had to go perfect for Houston to come back. If the Tigers had made one of those plays go in their favor they could have sealed the game in their favor. Both of the guys were incredibly frustrated by the lack of finishing the Tigers showed against Houston. There were multiple drives that ended with field goals inside the 10-yard line instead of touchdowns, but they both believe the offense showed a different level of creativity in the game. Gabe Rodgers has proven himself to be a successful big playmaker for the Tigers' offense. Both guys are extremely frustrated with the special teams play. Even though Chris Howard kicked multiple field goals for the Tigers, once again the Tigers' kickoff coverage team let them down. Giving up the kickoff return touchdown to Houston in the fourth quarter provided Houston with the confidence it needed to continue to fight. The Tigers rank very low in all of FBS football. In the second segment, TJ and Trey break down the ECU game. They both believe Memphis and ECU are evenly matched and both teams are coming off heartbreaking losses. ECU comes in the game at 3-3 on the season after dropping an AAC matchup against Tulane 24-9. ECU has a dynamic offense led by QB Holton Ahlers and running back Keaton Williams. The line opened up at -4.5 in ECU's favor. TJ is hopeful that the resurgent Tiger defense can hold the ECU offense at bay. The Tigers' defense has gameplanned well over the past few weeks, and have held their opponent's running games to below 100 yards in those games. TJ and Trey believe that the Tigers' offense can take advantage of an ECU secondary that has given up multiple big plays each game. TJ expects the Tigers to win 24-17. Trey expects the Tigers to win 28-24. About Tigers on Tap Tigers on Tap is a podcast for fans by fans.

  • GoTigers247's Behind Enemy Lines Ep 7: Stephen Igoe w/ Hoist the Colours

    GoTigers247's Behind Enemy Lines Ep 7: Stephen Igoe w/ Hoist the Colours
    Oct 12 2022
    Welcome to episode 7 of GoTigers247's Behind Enemy Lines. In this episode, GT247 is joined by Stephen Igoe, the owner/writer for Hoist the Colours, the ECU 247Sports affiliate. Stephen discusses East Carolina's season so far. East Carolina comes into the game with a record of 3-3. In Week 6, ECU lost to Tulane in New Orleans in their AAC matchup 24-9. Stephen discusses the vibe around the program right now. He describes the players as "pissed off" because of their poor performance in the Tulane game. The ECU team is led by a bunch of veterans, notably QB Holton Ahlers, who came into this year believing that they would contend for a conference championship. Stephen believes the the ups and downs on the season can be contributed to the up and down nature of the ECU offense. East Carolina is loaded with talented players. We mentioned Ahlers before, but ECU also has a talented running back, Keaton Mitchell, a big rangy receiver in Isaiah Winstead, and a do everything TE in Oklahoma transfer Ryan Jones. Even with such a talented roster, the offense lives and dies by the play of Holton Ahlers. Stephen believes that if Ahlers can limit ill-timed interceptions and make very few mistakes, ECU can beat any team in the AAC. Stephen believes this game is a must win for both teams. With Memphis coming off a gut-wrenching loss against Houston and ECU losing to Tulane, both teams need to show the ability to bounce back from devastating losses. He believes this game has the ability to set the winner up for success the rest of the season, but will also leave the loser with uncertainty about where to go from the rest of the way.

  • GoTigers247's Tigers on Tap Ep 12: Temple Review/Houston Preview

    GoTigers247's Tigers on Tap Ep 12: Temple Review/Houston Preview
    Oct 6 2022
    Welcome to Tigers on Tap Episode 12. In this episode, Trey and TJ review the Tigers' gritty 24-3 win over Temple in Week 5 and preview the upcoming matchup against pre-season AAC favorite, Houston Cougars. Houston was ranked in the Top 25 coming into the year, but comes into the game against the Tigers with a 2-3 record. The Tigers are favored to win the game on Friday night at Simmons Bank Liberty Stadium. In the first segment, TJ and Trey review the Temple game. For the second straight game, the Tigers' offense struggled to maintain any sustained momentum. For the first time in a long time, the Tigers went into halftime with zero points on the board. The Tigers' defense played inspired and kept Temple out of the endzone the entire game. They also forced three more turnovers continuing the trend of forcing opponents' turnovers and protecting the ball themselves. The Tigers are second in the nation in turnover margin at +9 on the season. TJ and Trey talk about the issues the offense is having. What are the trends they see that concern them? How can the Tigers fix the offensive woes? In the second segment, TJ and Trey preview the upcoming Week 6 game against the Houston Cougars. Houston and Memphis have faced off numerous times in the AAC, and all that will come to an end this year as Houston exits the AAC and moves to the Big 12. The Tigers come into this game on a four game winning streak, but the next three games will be the toughest stretch during their 2022 season. Houston has underwhelmed this year so far after being picked to win the AAC conference this year. They come in at 2-3 on the year, 0-1 in the AAC. TJ and Trey discuss the matchups they are most interested in seeing during this game. Houston lost their most talented defensive lineman at the beginning of the year, but still boast a fast and aggressive defensive front seven. The Tigers have struggled on the offensive line to protect Seth Henigan and open up holes for the run game. Trey and TJ discuss the Tigers' evolving offensive strategy and what types of wide receiver routes would be effective to stifle the Houston defense. Trey and TJ are both concerned with how the Tigers' secondary will be able to stop Nathaniel "Tank" Dell Jr, the prolific Houston wide receiver. Clayton Tune, the starting quarterback for Houston, has also proven himself to be a capable runner this year, and TJ and Trey discuss how the Tigers' defense needs to shore up their strategy against a quarterback who can be a dual threat. TJ predicts the Tigers will win 27-24 in a close, tough game against a talented, but fractured, Houston team. Trey predicts that the Tigers will win 30-28.

    GoTigers247's Behind Enemy Lines Ep 6: Rob Sellers with CougarsDigest.com
    Oct 5 2022
    Welcome to Behind Enemy Lines Episode 6. GoTigers247 is joined by Rob Sellers from CougarsDigest.com as the Tigers face off against Houston Cougars at Simmons Bank Liberty Stadium on Friday, October 7th. Houston was ranked in the Top 25 during the preseason and was picked to win the AAC Championship this year, but things have not gone well for them so far. The Cougars sit at 2-3 on the season, and 0-1 in the AAC after a frustrating OT loss to Tulane in Week 5. There has been plenty of frustration for everyone involved in the program, but head coach Dana Holgorsen has received a majority of the blowback. Houston brings back quarterback Clayton Tune and wide receiver Nathaniel Dell Jr to an offense that has normally been extremely potent. The Cougars lost star running back Alton McCaskill in the preseason to a knee injury, and Tune has struggled to find open receivers down the field. Houston fans have described the offense as "bland" and are frustrated with the offensive line play as the Cougars have had to replace multiple offensive linemen over the past few years. Rob speaks about the unfortunate penalty issues that the Cougars have experienced during their five games. He says most of the penalties come from a lack of awareness or just plain bad luck. He believes that if the Cougars can limit their penalty issues against the Tigers, they will have a better chance of winning the game. The defense boasts a strong and aggressive front seven, but opponents' offenses have targeted that aggressiveness with short dump off passes. He believes the matchup between the Tigers' offensive line and the Cougars' defensive line will be the matchup that will determine the outcome of the game. If the Tigers can exert their will at the line of scrimmage, he believes Seth Henigan can pick apart a secondary that has routinely had issues covering receivers down the field. Obviously, the offensive line has been a point of concern for the Tigers, alongside the route running ability of receivers. Can the Tigers' receivers gain separation from Houston in the secondary and exploit their deficiencies? Rob believes the Tigers should absolutely be expected to win the game. He shares that he believes the Cougars are talented enough to "wake up" at some point during this season, but the concern for him is that the Cougars are not as talented as believed in the preseason.
