2023 Offensive Outlook: We will always run the ball physically and effectively. That is the Warrior way. Also, looking to open up the passing game. Limit turnovers. With a returning offensive line, we are looking for skilled guys to step up.

2023 Defensive Outlook: This year we will use our speed and athleticism to create scoring opportunities. We will use a variety of looks. Young guys will step up early and create a surplus of depth.

2023 Special Teams Outlook: We must limit return scores. Our goal every year is to allow 0 returns. Field position is key. Capitalize on all extra point attempts. 0 blocked attempts. Mistake free.
