The entire offensive line is back. The same offensive line helped block for more than 4,400 rushing yards and 1,250 passing yards last season. Jake McClain is back at QB after passing for nearly 1,000 yards, 14 TDs and only 2 INTs last year. The combination of James Dunbar and Nathan Hartsell will vie for carries. The defense has back a group that has played together extensively and accumulated 106 tackles for a loss, 83 hurries, 33 sacks, forced 37 fumbles and picked off 12 passes last year. Another big year seems likely.
