Gone is former defensive coordinator Derrick Burroughs, who switched from a 4-3 defense to a 3-4 defense, Middle Tennessee State 0-0 and in is veteran coach Alonzo Lee. Lee is considered one of the best defensive Tennessee State 0-1 minds in the FCS. Lee returns the Tigers to their 4-3 base defensive roots and plans Southern 0-1 to utilize Javancy Jones and Teddrick Terrell as edger rushers instead of line- Texas Southern 1-0 backers. Grambling State 0-1 Run & Shoot - Tiger Style Alabama A&M 0-1 JSU offensive coordinator Timmy Chang enters year two of installing his version of Ark. Pine Bluff 1-0 the “Run & Shoot” offense in the Capital City. Last season the Tigers put up pretty Miss. Valley State 0-1 respectable numbers in the SWAC: 2nd in Pass Offense (273 ypg), 2nd in Pass Alabama State 0-1 Efficiency (138.1), 8th in Scoring Offense (25.8 ppg) and Total Offense (376.1 ypg). Prairie View A&M 0-1 These numbers should improve during the 2015 season as the Tigers return six Alcorn State 1-0 offensive starters.
