Outlook: Though three offensive linemen are gone, key skill position talent returns for the Zebras. QB Reid Golson and RB Jerod Cochran are both back. Golson combined for 2,435 total yards last season and Cochran--who plays on both sides of the ball--led the team with 269 tackles. The JV squad, which won 18 straight, should provide a lot of help. Coach Aubrey Sims should have an improved squad in 2007.
