Previewing Memphis Tigers vs. Mississippi State and season predictions

Football season is back and so is the Memphis Tigers Football Podcast!

This year, we're trying something new. In addition to having Commercial Appeal columnist Mark Giannotto and football beat writer Evan Barnes on the show, we'll have guests throughout the season add more perspective as the Tigers look to rebound from going 6-6.

Ahead of Mississippi State on Saturday (6:30 p.m., ESPNU), the podcast welcomes Stefan Krajisnik, who covers Mississippi State for the Clarion Ledger. Stefan breaks down what to watch from the Bulldogs and if they're seeking revenge or just want to welcome the Tigers with fans ringing cowbells.

Finally, Mark and Evan give their predictions for Memphis' final record and if this will be a bounce-back year that fans can rally behind.
