At QB, Joe Mason will start after being the number two signal caller last year. Adrian Pena played a lot at QB last season and will do so again for a team looking to improve on a 2-8 season. Tight End Wesley Vonner is back, and at 6'4" he is a nice sized target who can also block. The defense should be solid in the secondary; it has one or two standouts elsewhere. Bettering a two win season is more than possible.
