Memphis football's season opener is only three weeks away.
The Tigers held a "Fan Fest" event on Aug. 8 at Simmons Bank Liberty Stadium. It was a rescheduled event that was supposed to take place in the spring but was postponed because of weather, and it was also the first time for a lot of Memphis fans to see the 2026 team in action.
Coach Charles Huff had warned beforehand that the portion of practice open to the public wouldn't exactly be groundbreaking stuff. It was mostly special teams drills, and it took place a day after the Tigers held a scrimmage.
Still, it was a reminder that the season is close. Here's what we saw.
It's not surprising in any way that the quarterback competition between Air Noland and Marcus Stokes is ongoing, but this was the first chance to see them in action. Fans got to see a few seven-on-seven drills in which each got chances with different sets of receivers.
