Offense
The offense is potentially missing two key components this week; Denard Robinson at quarterback and Fitzgerald Toussaint at running back. Robinson has missed three games due an elbow injury, but he was able to run the ball and make two catches last week. Toussaint had a season ending leg injury last week. Third string quarterback Devin Gardner has won the last two games. Gardner started the season at receiver and has the unique statistic of at least two touchdowns which he has thrown, run, and caught. Robinson is listed as the starter but it isn't clear if he will play as a quarterback or running back/receiver. Also available at running back is Thomas Rawls who has 243 yards in seven games this season. At receiver is veteran Roy Roundtree who leads the team with 2,185 career reception yards. Also at receiver is Jeremy Gallon with 617 yards and two touchdowns. Tight end Devin Funchess leads the team with five touchdown receptions.
Defense
Linebacker Jake Ryan leads the team with 75 tackles. Senior safety Jordan Kovacs has 59 tackles this season and 325 career tackles. Both cornerback Raymon Taylor and safety Thomas Gordon have two interceptions this season.
