| Season Outlook |
| “We return an experienced offensive line, qb, rbs and skilled wideouts. Offensively, the key will be to balance run and pass, running behind a veteran line and take shots down the field with our fast receivers on the outside. Defensively, the challenge will be to find the replacements for some key defensive positions lost to graduation. Filling the defensive end positions and middle linebacker spot will be the key to our defensive success. We return an experienced secondary and will have to play an aggressive style to bring pressure up front.”Chuck Kutz |
