Season Outlook
We expect to have very competitive season this year with 13 starters coming back. Offensively we expect to have a very balanced attack with strong 1-2 punch at running back this year and several skilled fast receivers to spread the field. With our quarterback having a full season under his belt going into this season with a lot of confidence being able to put up points this year. Defensively we plan on being a lot more aggressive this season and moving some guys around to some positions they normally haven’t played but using their strength will improve our defensive front more than past seasons creating pressure behind the line of scrimmage and our speed will help with covering the pass. Special teams we have an excellent 5-star kicker that we can depend on getting us points as long as we are in field goal range or give us the upper hand with field position.
