What does your offense need to improve on from last year?
We feel very good about our offense heading into this year. We return our top three leading rushers and our top two leading receivers. We will replace our QB but we feel very confident in that position. We will have inexperience on our offensive line and will most likely be starting three sophomores. However, two of the three played significant time last year. Our skill positions are our veterans and we expect them to lead us this year.
What does your defense need to improve on from last year
Our strength is our secondary with all four playing in all ten games last year. We return two of three linebackers so we feel good about that those positions. We return both defensive tackles but must replace both defensive ends. Our ends were excellent last year so we may take a step back at that position.
