The Tigers showcased a potent offense and a stifling defense, against the Jaguars.
The Tigers’ offense was firing on all cylinders, led by running back Taylon May, who bulldozed his way to three rushing touchdowns.
Receiver Kameron Fortenberry also shone brightly, hauling in two touchdown passes from quarterback Jake Newman.
Defensively, Jaden Ferguson recorded a safety, while the unit as a whole racked up five sacks and eight tackles for loss.
