2023 Outlook:
Offense: Are we able to build on last year’s success, all while having new players at QB, RB, and slot? We will be replacing them, especially the 2,227 rusher Phoenix Music.

Defense: Can we build upon the solid end of the year we had while replacing our captain Alex Long.

Special Team: We need to replace our kicker, so can we find a solid and consistent kicker.
