2024 Offensive Outlook: The keys for us offensively are to control the line of scrimmage and limit takeaways. New skill players will need to make an impact quickly.

2024 Defensive Outlook: The mustangs must be physical and play together as a unit. New players must embrace the system.

2024 Special Teams Outlook: Replacing a record setting kicker is paramount. Two players will be going after the spot.
