One area he won't have to worry about is his backfield mate Steve Collins who rushed for more than 900 yards last season and earned second team district honors. Newcomer Tyler Cotton could vie for playing time at QB if coach Gene Wier wants to utilize Gonzalez at Wideout. While skill players seem capable, both lines are huge question marks entering the season. It should be a competitive year and, if line play is good, a solid year despite returning only five starters.
