2015 Outlook:

Offense: We must be able to throw the ball with more consistency. We have a very experienced offensive line back and will count on them heavily to run the ball. We have some very physical backs with the addition of Bodolus and along with Porter and Janusek, we have some tough running backs. Receivers are new and inexperienced but talented.

Defense: We must stay healthy on defense. We return a lot of starters and have been able to move people around with some additions to our team. We have good depth at linebacker. The addition of Bodolus has allowed us to move Porter to free safety, which is his natural position. Concerned about the inexperience at corners but we have athletes playing there and will get better every day.

Special Team: Punter and kicker return in Garret Bleakley. Very consistent and reliable. Have no worries about him.
