2018 Offensive Outlook: We will be implementing a spread attack that will be successful if we can make the correct reads and get the ball out on time to our playmakers.

2018 Defensive Outlook: We will implement an attacking, gap control defense that puts pressure on the offense to account for pressure while reading multiple coverages. We must have 11 players to the ball relentlessly if we are to be successful.

2018 Special Teams Outlook: We are very lucky to have a terrific athlete who happens to kick and punt. We will treat special teams as an opportunity to make big plays.
