2016 Offensive outlook: (Please let us know the keys about your team on offense. What are your keys to having a successful year?)

We will need a lot of new face to step up on both sides of the ball this season. We have a limited number of returning starters, but we have a core groups of players to build around. Offensively, it will start up front with finding some lineman to replace Roberts and Koehler. In addition, we will need to replace Szerencsits and Turner who combined for over 1500 yards rushing and 21 touchdowns

2016 Defensive Outlook: (Please let us know the keys about your team on defense. What are your keys to having a successful year?)

Austin Britton returns and was our leading tackler a year ago. Jeremy Sell is Division 1 recruit. Just like on offense we will need a lot of new faces to step up.

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 need to find a kicker.
