Memphis coach Ryan Silverfield had big shoes to fill. Last year Mike Norvell led Memphis to the greatest season in program history. Silverfield was the assistant head coach for that team. Of course, Norvell cashed in with a Power Five gig at Florida State. Memphis decided to keep things in the house with most players returning led by quarterback Brady White. Specifically, Silverfield was hired for the NCAA Football betting continuity. Cincinnati was a hot preseason pick to win the American Athletic Conference. Coach Luke Fickell has recruited a strong foundation. Cincinnati is coming off an impressive win at SMU.
