NationalChamps.net recognizes the importance of missing personnel data not listed such as redshirts, transfers, injuries, incoming recruits, back ups, and alternates.

QUICK ANALYSIS

November 28, 2003 - It will be tough to locate a Top 20 team with as many starters as the Tigers bring back. Helping their cause is the fact that QB Jason Campbell stepped up and assumed command of the position to close out 2002. Cadillac Williams should be ready to go from a healed broken leg, and the men up front clearing his path will be just what's required for SEC West play. Two great LBs are on the charts between Dansby and Dontarrious, both seniors. The bottom line is that this team has been a fairly steady Top 25 team and doesn't lose much at all. With Campbell stepping up now and expectations growing, Coach Tuberville will feel the pressure. The Tigers needn't be afraid of heights.
