I think it was Pearl's idea to schedule Memphis for last Saturday...it was the only weekend that would secure college gameday for the Vols/Tigers. And even though he knew it would create a difficult stretch, he thought the national exposure was just too good to pass up.
He was right.
Actually the date was set by Memphis I believe since they were the home team. No way UT wants to play at Memphis in the middle of the SEC schedule. Memphis puts the game in there so they get a top opponent in the middle of their putrid conference schedule.
