You can drink your own urine once, maybe twice. It then becomes toxic, as your body has pulled the water and all that is left is waste. You have filtered away the quality.

One can wonder if the same is true of repeatedly bringing a transfer roster with you from one job to another. Charles Huff used a massive group of Marshall transfers to succeed in his one season at Southern Miss.

UNLV enjoys one of the best offenses in the Group of Six. If Memphis struggles at all, UNLV should be able to produce a scoreboard gap.
