What does your offense need to improve on from last year?
We need to be able to finish drives. We have some very explosive skill guys, and a very gifted dual threat quarterback returning. If we can solidify the offensive line, I feel that we can have a very successful season.

What does your defense need to improve on from last year
Our defense needs to finish plays. We were in position a lot last year to make the play and didn’t. Much of the focus will be on pursuing the ball and finishing our tackles. We need to play with a lot of excitement on the defensive side of the ball.
