What are your expectations for your team this year? 
To be an exciting football team to watch. Not to make the young mistakes we did last year. With our off season conditioning we hope to stay away from key injuries.

When your team is on offense, what are the keys to success? 
Not to turn the ball over and to sustain long drives. We must eliminate penalties so we are not put in 2nd and 3rd and long situations. We must believe in the system and not panic when things aren’t going well.

When your team is on defense, what are the keys to success? 
Not giving up big pass plays, must win 1st down and put teams in long situations. We need to come out after half time and continue the momentum we had in the first half.
