Junior college transfer Daveonn Porter will join returner Edward Perkins-Loving in the backfi eld. Perkins-Loving was TSU’s lead rusher in 2012 and Porter was ranked in the top 5 among junior college running backs. Texas Southern vs. Prairie View Head to Head (2012 Stats) TSU’s new quarterback will have some talented receivers to throw to. Fred Plummer was the Tigers’ leading receiver in 2012 with 34 catches for 534 yards and 2 touchdowns. Malik Cross TEAM STATS TSU PVAM will be a deep threat for the Tigers. He sat out last season but he is extremely fast, has great RECORDS(overall /conf.) 2-8 / 2-9 4-6 / 4-4 hands and knows the offense. Derek Shipman and Larry Clark are two other receivers that will be on the radar. Tight end Billy Rosenberg will also be a favorite target for the Tigers. SCORING 165 305 Points Per Game 15.0 27.7 Special teams will be a key to the Tigers success in 2013. TSU has two exceptional kickers, FIRST DOWNS 156 226 Corey Carter and Eric Medina. Carter is the returning punter who averaged 55.5 yards a punt. RUSHING YARDAGE 1058 2054 Medina is a freshman who has a strong leg and is very accurate. Plummer and Cross will handle punt returns while Perkins-Loving and Trent Richmond will return kick-offs. TDs Rushing 5 20 PASSING YARDAGE 1868 2508 The Tigers should be stronger in every position. The key to a successful season is staying TDs Passing 14 18 healthy. Limits on TSU’s recruiting numbers has hurt the depth chart but a good conditioning TOTAL OFFENSE 2926 4562 program over the summer may help the Tigers stay in the game.
