But the latest medical update is a more positive one and Wenger said: “He could make it back for February or even earlier”. “I have already said we are short”.
Straight out of the second half, it looked like Memphis remembered how its offense worked and drove down the field.
Carlton Davis jumped in front of the intended target Mose Frazier on the play and tipped the ball to Matthews. Teams will likely be calling the Titans about that top pick if they wind up getting it, just to make sure they are able to secure the services of Lynch, who has the makeup of a franchise quarterback.

Even as an SEC team, they shouldn’t be favored over Memphis.

He threw one pass the whole game. That’s not a joke.
