2021 Offensive Outlook: Offensively we need to move the ball efficiently in the run game and the short passing game to hopefully open up more opportunities to score points. We must be disciplined with taking care of the football and seizing opportunities.
2021 Defensive Outlook: We must be strong up the middle. We have two starting inside linebacker returning and a defensive tackle. That can be a big help. We must stop the run and put what will be a young secondary into favorable positions to defend the pass. We must be sure tacklers and look to create turnovers at every moment.
2021 Special Teams Outlook: We must win the field position game with good kicking and sure tackling.
