FS/RB Lavocheya Cooper (a junior who started as a freshman), DE/RB Dajuan Lee, QB Will Allen and DE Richard Bradley will be depended on to carry the load. "We won't be quite as strong early, but expect us to be close to what we were last year (10-4) by the end of the year," said head coach Dale Irwin. "We lose some great players, but we have some good young ones coming."
