The Tigers of 2005 will definately be improved over the 2004 version of the team. The question will be how much improvement will they make. The will have a double threat at the quarterback spot with Kendal McClendon back after being named 19-2A Newcomer of the Year and Wes Willis also steps into the offensive picture after transferring from Ferris. Defensively, look for the Tigers to rely on Widemon and Reese to help carry the load.
