What does your offense need to improve on from last year?
We need to be able to throw the ball with more effectively. With our triple option attack our pass plays are usually designed to go deep off of play action fake … we need to be able to establish a short accurate passing attack that will put more stress on defenses.

What does your defense need to improve on from last year
Last season we were looking for an identity throughout most of the regular season …. but by playoff time we really hit our stride. We need to build off of our late season successes and stay committed to the process.
