He returns 11 starters in his pursuit of a big season including RB Aaron Martinez. Newcomer Levi Fikes is likely to step in at QB, and he'll have a host of returners in the passing game, including WRs Chase Taylor and Tracy Rumsey and Tight End Jeremy Corder. Newcomer Jaeckob Blewett is another possible candidate at WR. The line will need to add a couple of new starters, and on defense the front four must be established. Depth could also be an issue in the trenches. If line play resolves itself, then it's full speed ahead for Smyer.
