Outlook: A tough schedule looms for Bobcat coach Steve Heryford after a 5-6 season last year. Starting QB Coby Land is back after passing for seven scores and more than 700 yards a year ago. At RB, Ryan Chadwick, who played last year but averaged just over three yards per carry, is back. Top WR Marc Campos returns as a good target for Land. On defense, LBs Brandon Arthur and Land will lead the way. There is some talent to work with, but one or two key newcomers must step up.
