What does your offense need to improve on from last year?

We have a lot of athleticism in our skill positions, but we need to completely replace our offensive line from last year.  I feel if these guys can gel early we can be successful running the ball, until our new QB gains confidence throwing the ball more.

What does your defense need to improve on from last year 

Again we are replacing basically the whole defense, we just need guys to step up and make plays. We have guys with ability, they just lack Varsity experience.
