In the passing game, QB Alvin Mitchell, who also doubles as a WR, will look to WRs Shaquille Tubman and Lorenzo Sexton. Quincy Johnson will also see time at QB and can be a target in the passing game, too. Joey Jackson should see carries, as will Chris Johnson. Sophomore newcomer Richardo Wilson could also see work at QB. Regardless of who lines up in the backfield, Alexander thinks his offensive line will be a major team strength; they should lead the way for RBs and give time to QBs. The defense is less experienced and must find players in the secondary to hold down opponents. The Bears have a lot of talent, but for a good year, they must figure out where to play everyone on the field and also play as a team. The squad should get better each week.
