But finding a quarterback may make the biggest difference for the Tigers. Harris Daniels, the brother of Houston Texans tight end Owen Daniels, and Tommy Wornham, another talented youngster, are battling for the position. Hughes has been concerned with the defense's propensity for giving up big plays. If the Tigers can clean up their mistakes, they could improve dram |

Now, Childress has to convince a skeptical fan base and his very own players that the incumbents, Jackson and Sage Rosenfels, who was picked up in the trade with the Houston Texans, are good enough to win.
