A lot of young players got valuable experience in 2007 and now must put that to good use. Brent Johnson is back at RB and Andrew Kinery may also see work in the running game. Travis Hobbs seems likely to start at QB. In the trenches John Fortune, Dillon Mol, Jacob Thompson, Colton Pursewell and Lauren Hill will work hard. Picking up a victory or two is reasonable.
