2015 Outlook:
Offense: We have depth at the skill position despite losing some of our most productive players there in our history. We also return the bulk of our team–including our 3 year starting QB, most of our backfield and line–and are looking to build on the success from last year. Make no mistake though, with a tougher schedule, and having lost some great players, it will be a challenging year, especially when, as always, we struggle with a low number of players.
Defense: The same players we lose on offense will also be missed on defense. But again, we have a large core of returning players, so it’s only a matter of filling a few positions.
