2017 Offensive Outlook: Offense should be our strength with the players that we have returning. We have a lot of speed and experience, we just need to come together as a unit.

2017 Defensive Outlook: We have a lot of holes with graduation, but we also have a lot of speed and the players that are fighting for jobs are extremely hungry. The defense will need to find their role and play within themselves to be successful.

2017 Special Teams Outlook: Kick the ball; Catch the ball; Run the ball; Block for them; Score.
