Outlook: The Raiders expect to improve on an uncharacteristic 5-6 season, but it won't be easy with only two starters back on offense. The good news is that DaDa Brown--who ran for more than 800 yards as a sophomore--is back. Luke Wagner, who stared three game last year, will step in as the full-time starting quarterback. There are a number of experienced non-starters from last season ready to fill the other holes. Defensively, six starters are back.
