Ole Miss vs. Memphis game time: 6 p.m. central

TV Channel: ESPN2

Odds: Ole Miss – 14.5

Memphis beat Ole Miss last season 37-24 in Memphis, but that was with former coach Justin Fuente, who is now at Virginia Tech, and former quarterback Paxton Lynch, who is now in the NFL.

The new-look Memphis program appears just as dangerous.

While Ole Miss has had some ups and downs in September, the Tigers haven’t even been tested. Memphis has won its three games by an average of more than 40 points, including a 77-3 victory over Bowling Green last weekend.

Ole Miss will counter with an offense that’s averaging 40 points per game. The Rebels built a 45-0 lead last week over then-No. 12 Georgia before settling for the 45-14 victory.
