The duo was fantastic against Indiana, powering UC to a 45-24 win. They aren't just one-week wonders either—as Pace leads the NCAA in tackles for loss at 2.8 per game. Meanwhile, Tyler Scott ranks seventh nationally in receiving yards and is tied for seventh in TD catches.

That duo is looking to post even greater numbers on Saturday as they travel for the first AAC game of the season against Tulsa. It's available on ESPNU via fuboTV—start your free trial here.
