What does your offense need to improve on from last year?
We are a triple option veer, midline team that return 2500 yards in rushing, we graduated our qb and best wr but we return 8 starters and have a fb like junior qb Rocco Falosk. We have been in the top 10 in all classifications in scoring the past three seasons that won’t change this year.

What does your defense need to improve on from last year *
We were extremely inconsistent and at times did not play with great discipline. In theory though we have never returned more guys who played a lot with virtually 10 starters back and 18 defensive lettermen.
