2019 Offensive Outlook: We are very young on the offensive side of the ball and will need to be extremely intentional with our time in training camp to find our offensive identity. We will need to develop quickly upfront, while being multi-dimensional to give ourselves the best possible chance to win football games. We are a ball control offense that wants to move the ball and keep the other teams offense on the sidelines, philosophically that is who we are and will try to be every year.

2019 Defensive Outlook: We return some experience on the defensive side of the ball in the back end and will need to rely on those guy’s early on.While we lose most of our starters up front, we return a good deal of guys who played significant time last year, they will need to use that experience early on to keep developing. We will try to be a fast defense who runs to the ball and creates opportunities for our offense, we are hoping to continue off of last years defensive success.
