What does your offense need to improve on from last year?
OL needs to continue maturity and band together as a group. Passing game needs to improve to become an overall balanced offense. Keys to success include how well will our OL gel together to provide running game space.
What does your defense need to improve on from last year
Tackling and pass coverage needs to improve. Pass rush needs to be consistent.
