Coach Pat Brady will rely on Tra Carson at RB, though John Webster and Vincent Lewis may also see carries. At QB, Alex Watson and Daniel Thompson will battle for the starting position. The defense needs work, though Cantrell McKinley at LB and Keith Cross on the line are solid. Liberty should once again be very competitive.
