What are your expectations for your team this year?
I expect this team to play a fast, physical brand of Football. We will relay on discipline and attention to detail. While we are very young, we are lead by a solid group of Seniors that are showing these young guys what a “Winner’s Attitude” looks like. I expect this young team to surprise a lot of people and to energize the program and lay a foundation to continue to build on in the future.

When your team is on offense, what are the keys to success?
We first and foremost have to be disciplined. We will force the defense to cover every inch of the field and keep them on their toes. We need to believe in our system, and each other and take advantage of everything the defense gives us.

When your team is on defense, what are the keys to success?
We have to be tough up front, and physical on the back end. We have to give our Linebackers opportunities to make plays. Most importantly, we have to do our jobs and trust out teammates to do theirs.
