As a result, the Tigers lost an opportunity to compete against a dual-threat quarterback before facing Dak Prescott this Saturday. Prescott is one of the most dynamic running quarterbacks in the country, something he put on full display against LSU last season.

The Tigers had no answer for the 6-foot-2, 230 pound signal caller, as he went off for 373 total yards and three touchdowns en route to a 34-29 upset victory.
