The Warhawks offense will return quarterback Garrett Smith which should bring leadership to the locker room this year. He needs to lead by example.
He threw eight touchdowns last season and shouldn’t have an issues duplicating last season touchdown total. With wide receivers RJ Turner and Xavier Brown to throw to Smith could have a good year.
Ben Luckett and Austin Vaughn will do most of the work on offense. Working as a two headed monster for the Warhawks out of the backfield.
Memphis Tigers
The Memphis Tigers are picked by a lot of people to win the American Athletic this year and go to a fifth straight bowl game.
Led by Head Coach Mike Norvell, his leadership has been evident, especially at the quarterback position. He has had the luxury of coaching first round pick Paxton Lynch and now Riley Ferguson.
Ferguson lit it up last season. He passed for close to 3,700 yards and 32 touchdowns in 2016. He will be the leader for the Tigers again this year.
Phil Mayhue and Anthony Miller will be Ferguson’s to targets on the outside. Sprinkle in the run game with Doreland Dorceus and the Tigers are loaded on offense. Again.
