Welcome back to the Memphis football podcast! This week's show looks ahead to the Tigers (2-0) hosting Mississippi State (2-0) on Saturday (3 p.m., ESPN2) for the first time since 2011. Commercial Appeal columnist Mark Giannotto and football beat writer Evan Barnes recap last week's wild win over Arkansas State and if fans should be concerned about the Tigers' defense. If they couldn't slow down Arkansas State, can the Tigers contain Mississippi State's Air-Raid offense? We discuss the keys to the game and also the implications for Memphis trying to impress national observers with conference realignment in the news. The game will also honor former Tigers receiver Isaac Bruce, who was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame this summer.  There will also be a pregame moment of silence for former Tigers linebacker Danton Barto, who died in August from COVID-19. Both Bruce and Barto were on the 1993 Memphis State team that was the last to defeat Mississippi State.
