The former Big 8 and 12 rivals would be an interesting opponent to see again. Most recently, the two played in the 2014 Cotton Bowl, after the Tigers made a surprising run to the SEC Championship Game in their second year in the conference.
It was a tightly contested game, but in the end, Michael Sam forced a strip sack that Shane Ray picked up and took back the other way for the game sealing touchdown.
Overall, the Tigers own a 29-23 edge in the series, but the Cowboys have won four of the past six meetings.
