2010 notes: A strong group of returnees has the Tigers poised to build on the program's best campaign since 1999. LB Mitchell (142 tackles, 2 INTs, 6 sacks) was an all-stater in '09 and will be the team's top player, but the pass-catch combo of QB Barrett (1,836 passing yards, 22 TDs) and WR Hamner (30-650, 8 TDs receiving) provides the offense with its punch.
