This would normally be where we tell you that Paxton Lynch can throw the ball. Like, really, really throw the ball. He's a top five quarterback this year in yards per pass attempt and completion percentage, and he's got six touchdowns to zero interceptions.

But when you consider the Tigers aren't a pass-first team, that's a really fantastic backup plan to a good running attack.
