What does your offense need to improve on from last year?
We need to improve in a aspects of the game. We need to finish off drives and make big plays. We have 10 starters returning including a 1000 passer in Cody Miller (Republican-Herald Rookie of the Year), our leading Rusher Jacob Hoffman, our leading Receiver Keegan Brennan (Averaged 30 yards per reception), D1 TE recruit TJ Wagner and our entire Offensive Line. I am looking for our offense to be very balanced and efficient.

What does your defense need to improve on from last year?
Our defense improved every week last year. We need to focus on stopping the run. We have our leading tackler back DE TJ Wagner and our team leader in interceptions Marcus Vaupel (5 ints). We need to just get confident in our abilities and use our athleticism to make plays. Our LBs need to play more physical and fill gaps.
