Southern Miss commit T'Rod Daniels leads Gulf Coast with 765 yards rushing and seven touchdowns and Ge'Vonte Jones has rushed for 532. Justin Stewart ended up leading Gulf Coast with 65 tackles, one ahead of defensive lineman and uber-recruit Isaiah Buggs. Scouting EMCC The No. 3 Lions (8-1) cut through the MACJC this season, winning eight in a row after narrowly losing the opener with a shell of its roster due to 2015 suspensions that carried over. Former Florida State quarterback DeAndre Johnson proved to be one of the more dangerous players in the league, passing for 2,110 yards and 22 touchdowns and rushing for 563 yards and four scores. "We have to contain him and not give them anything down the field cheap," Huff said. Johnson had plenty of targets, with five receivers recording at least 20 catches. On the ground, Jacquez Horsley, Isaiah Wright and Tyrell Price have all been reliable, rushing for 428, 389 and 325 yards. The trio has combined for 16 touchdowns. Former Texas Tech linebacker Dakota Allen is the unquestioned leader of East Mississippi's defense with 90 tackles, two sacks, one interception and five pass breakups. Winning at East Mississippi won't be easy. The Lions are 31-1 at home since Sullivan-Windham Field opened in 2011. Gulf Coast leads the series 31-27-4, but EMCC has won the last five meetings.
