The Tigers are led by a lethal rushing attack, spearheaded by Jamal Roberts, who is one of just three running backs in the country who have over 1,000 yards in the season. As a whole, the Tigers average 28.3 points per game, which ranks No. 53 in the country.
Defensively, the Tigers have been very stout, allowing just 24 points per game; however, they surrendered 31 points to the Ole Miss Rebels two games ago, showing that the defense could be exploited if needed.
