Memphis Showboats Form
Memphis are newcomers to the USFL, having replaced the Tampa Bay Bandits team that competed in 2022.
The Showboats have taken on a large chunk of the roster that went just 4-6 as the Bandits last season, although starting QB Jordan Ta’amu is no longer with team after joining the XFL for 2023.
The Bandits won their season opener in 2022, beating Pittsburgh 17-3, but struggled for consistency they rest of the way.
They failed to string together consecutive wins and finished the season by losing four of their final games.
That run included a 35-28 defeat when they took on their 2023 season-opening opponents, Philadelphia, in Week 6.
