What does your offense need to improve on from last year?
Our offense is a multiple scheme based out of the wingT. It will have to run at a high tempo with lots of deception and our players are going to have to be smart enough to read defensive fronts and coverages. Our team will have to be in great shape because we will be trying to get in as many offensive plays as possible.

What does your defense need to improve on from last year 
Defensively, we want to stop the run and be gap sound.
