2024 Offensive Outlook: This year we plan to establish our run game early. We have a very big line with some solid skill position players. We need to dominate the line of scrimmage and get the ball to our athletes in space.

2024 Defensive Outlook: Defensively we have alot of seniors so we should be ok. We cant give up big plays though.

2024 Special Teams Outlook: Being able to kick field goals has been an issue. If we can do that we can add another layer to help our offense.
