In episode 85 of GT247's Tigers in 20, host and lead writer Christian Fowler, GT247 digital content producer Kenny Stubblefield discuss the latest in Memphis football and basketball.
During last week's episode, the crew briefly discussed DeAndre Williams' waiver request, and they dive in much more detail in this episode. GT247 founder Brooks Hansen posted a VIP update this week on the NCAA waiver situation and how it affects Williams, so Fowler and Stubblefield break down that update.
Fowler and Stubblefield also discuss the role Williams could potentially play if he is deemed eligible by the NCAA. With his versatility and leadership, the duo believes he will be a major addition for Penny Hardaway and the staff.

Following the discussion of Williams, the crew switches gears to football. Memphis coach Ryan Silverfield and the Tigers were demolished last weekend by Cincinnati, so Fowler and Stubblefield discuss the game against the Bearcats and what went wrong.
Next, they break down the rest of the seasons and attempt to set expectations for the 2020-2021 football season. Fowler compares this season to the 2018 season, which is when the Tigers lost for the second consecutive time against UCF in the AAC Championship Game.
Although Memphis finished the regular season 8-4, they won the AAC West, and it looked like they were going to win the conference championship early in the game against the Knights. With so much adversity surrounding this season and with a first-year coach in Silverfield, Fowler believes this season could look very similar.
