Why Seth Henigan's growth is Memphis football's best sign after three games
Welcome back to this week's episode of the Memphis football podcast!
Columnist Mark Giannotto and beat writer Evan Barnes kick things off breaking down the Tigers' win over Arkansas State. Was the close score a worry or is the Tigers (2-1, 1-0) offense in great shape because of quarterback Seth Henigan taking steps forward in his second season? The guys also look around the AAC to see how Memphis can take advantage of how the league looks so far.

With the Tigers hosting North Texas Saturday (2:30 p.m., ESPN+), this week's guest is North Texas beat writer Brett Vito of the Denton Record-Chronicle. Brett explains if the Mean Green are seeing this game as an AAC tuneup, the story behind 29-year-old starting quarterback Austin Aune, and how the North Texas run game could challenge the Tigers.
Finally, the episode wraps up looking at the return of Grant Gunnell to Memphis after the quarterback transferred to North Texas. It's a minor subplot since he's the backup QB but it gives a chance to revisit the battle and why coach Ryan Silverfield sticking with Henigan has paid off so far through 14 games.
