2018 Offensive Outlook: We need to cut down on our amount of turnovers and we need to run the ball more effectively. QB Evan Herb needs to continue to develop and take ownership of the offense.
2018 Defensive Outlook: With only 3 starters returning, we need to get new starters up to speed quickly. We need to create more turnovers. We need to play fundamentally sound football and be hungry to make plays.
2018 Special Teams Outlook: We need to keep improving and use special teams to our advantage.
