HOUSTON — Memphis football cruised to a 38-14 win over Rice to set up a massive conference game against Tulane. The Tigers (8-1, 4-1 American Conference) jumped out to an early lead Oct. 31 and dominated the Owls (4-5, 1-4), who couldn’t get anything going offensively until the game was effectively over late in the first half.

The Owls run a modified option offense, which will instantly create fear for Tigers fans who watched what Navy did to Memphis last season. Rice's offense looks different and hasn't been nearly as explosive as Navy's, but it's still tough to prepare for on a short week.

Auburn’s zone defense gave Memphis loads of trouble, as the Tigers forced 10 turnovers and 13 points off turnovers before the first media timeout. They finished the game with 33 points off 23 Memphis turnovers, illustrating Auburn’s ability to create havoc all night long.
