Welcome back to another week of the Memphis Football Podcast! Columnist Mark Giannotto and beat writer Evan Barnes break down the Tigers' win over Temple and a busy short week ahead of facing Houston on Friday (6:30 p.m., ESPN2).

Mark and Evan discuss how fans should feel about a 4-1 Tigers team, concerns about the offense and if the Tigers' defense-first identity will help ahead as the schedule gets tougher. They also discuss what to make of the team's low attendance through three home games and how things hopefully will improve in the final AAC regular season matchup with the Cougars.

This week's guest is longtime Houston beat writer Joseph Duarte of the Houston Chronicle. Duarte breaks down what's gone wrong with a Cougars team that's struggled since being a preseason Top 25 team. He also addresses how Houston views this rivalry as it extends to men's basketball as well as football.
