What does your offense need to improve on from last year? 
We must be more consistent offensively, and improve our running game. We need to strive for more balance as well as getting multiple involved. Of course, up front will be the key.

What does your defense need to improve on from last year 
We have to get a tougher mentality on the defensive side. We let three touchdown leads slip away twice last year, which led to consecutive losses. We have to have the mindset that it is unacceptable.
