A couple of Tigers are featured in this week’s offensive spotlight.
Jalen Slaughter was on point Friday night. He went 17 for 23 with 159 yards and two touchdowns. He was crucial in gaining first downs early during a sluggish start for the Tigers.
Despite a slow start to the run game, Ja’Meir Gamble racked up 164 yards on only 18 carries while scoring two touchdowns.
A trio of Tigers are in this week’s defensive spotlight. They are part of a defense that racked up 4 sacks and 8 tackles-for-loss while allowing only 12 rush yards.
Mylen Lenix was in the backfield all night for the Tigers. He racked up a sack and two tackles-for-loss while forcing a fumble and putting numerous pressures on the Hornets’ quarterback.
Lucas Shertzer was a hard-hitting menace to the Hornets run and pass games during Friday’s Round 1 game. 1.5 sacks and 1.5 tackles-for-loss highlight his big night— a performance that sums up his season well… whenever he has the opportunity, he has delivered.
Tra’Yon Williams had a sack and two tackles-for-loss on another great night. He played great coverage all night and helped shut down the Hornets’ run game.
