2015 Outlook:
Offense: We need to find a guard and a center. If we can lock down those positions up front we feel confident that we’ll be able to move the ball and score. How our offensive line gels as a unit and plays with three new faces will be the biggest determining factor in how many times we get in the end zone this year.
Defense: We have a lot of returning starters but we are running a different scheme this year. Our veterans need to learn the system quickly and help to teach our youngsters what we expect at their respective positions. If we can learn our assignments and play fast, our defense could be excellent this year.
Special Teams: We have a senior kicker and a senior punter both of whom are dedicated and hard-working young men. With these two around to mentor a couple promising young fellas in the kicking game, our special teams should be solid.
