2020 Offensive Outlook: The offense is looking to build off our last year’s success. Returning are key offensive lineman to help continue the success of the passing game led by their quarterback and numerous key playmakers at receiver. The running game is getting a boost from a stable of RBs which plan to carry on what was started last season.
2020 Defensive Outlook: The defense needs to be more consistent as a whole. The focus this year is flying around the field and playing mistake free fundamental football.
