Nate Noel - Leading rusher in rompNoel rushed 11 times for 48 yards and a touchdown Thursday against Murray State, while also catching four passes for 20 yards out of the backfield.

ImpactNoel and fellow transfer Marcus Carroll were listed as co-starters, and while both rushers found the end zone in the 51-0 laugher over the Racers, it was Noel who nearly doubled the touches of Carroll. A true split is unlikely to come to the forefront until the schedule gets tougher, something that does not happen next weekend against Buffalo.

Marcus Carroll - Hits paydirt in winCarroll rushed six times for 35 yards and a touchdown Thursday against Murray State, while also catching two passes for 19 yards out of the backfield.

ImpactCarroll and Nate Noel were listed as co-starters heading into the contest. While it is difficult to read too much into touches in a 51-0 blowout win, Noel did nearly double Carroll's touches in this game. Both backs should get at least 6-8 touches next weekend against Buffalo, but a true look at the timeshare is unlikely to be clear until the schedule stiffens.

Luther Burden III - Finds end zone in laugherBurden snagged three passes for 39 yards and a touchdown Thursday against Murray State.

ImpactBurden is coming off an absolutely sensational sophomore campaign in which he racked up 86 receptions for 1,212 yards and nine touchdowns. With Brady Cook returning under center, Burden figures to be not only one of the best wideouts in the SEC, but one of the best receivers in the entire country. Another soft matchup lurks next weekend against Buffalo.

ImpactExpectations are extremely high this season for Cook and the Tigers. Cook is coming off a year in which he set career-highs across the board, including 3,317 passing yards and 21 touchdowns through the air. He was not needed much in this contest, and another cupcake matchup looms next weekend against Buffalo before the schedule stiffens.
