2016 Offensive Outlook: (Please let us know the keys about your team on offense. What are your keys to having a successful year?)
Establishing a physical, multi-faceted running game.
Being more consistent and reliable in the passing game.
Growth from our new/young players in the varsity rotation.
2016 Defensive Outlook: (Please let us know the keys about your team on defense. What are your keys to having a successful year?)
Continuing our recent history of physical/stout defensive play.
Creating a lot of turnovers, and winning the turnover battle each week.
Limiting big plays on defense.
2016 Special Teams Outlook: (Please let us know the keys about your team on special teams. What are your keys to having a successful year?)
We are planning to be more exotic in our special teams design this season. We will need to win the “hidden yards” each week to take pressure off of our offense and defense.
