Memphis visits Tulane on Friday with a four-game winning streak and a 2-0 record in American Conference play. The Tigers are 5-1 overall; the Green Wave enter at 2-3 and are looking for their first conference victory.

The game begins at 6:30 p.m. Central, 5:30 p.m. in Calgary, and airs on ESPN in the United States. The Memphis game preview lists Mike Monaco and Jordan Rodgers on the call, with Dana Boyle reporting from the sideline.

Quarterback Marcus Stokes has 16 touchdown passes, while the Tigers are averaging 516.7 yards of total offense. Running back Jaylin Carter comes off 132 yards and two touchdowns on 19 carries against UAB.

Tulane won last season’s meeting 38-32 in Memphis. The Green Wave are trying to recover from a 20-17 loss at Army, which left them 0-1 in conference play. Friday’s result will either extend Memphis’s unbeaten conference start or give Tulane its first American win of the season.
