What does your offense need to improve on from last year?
We need good healthy competition at all positions this season for a team that was hit hard by graduation. A lot of the underclassmen who will be in competition for starting jobs were pressed into duty due to the amount of season ending injuries the 2019 team incurred. If we can get out from under this pandemic, I’m excited to see these young kids begin to compete and shape the 2020 team.

What does your defense need to improve on from last year *
Again many underclassmen were pressed to compete last season, so we are hopeful they can take the next step and compete at a higher level relying on what they learned as underclassmen.
