Outlook: The offense must be retooled following the loss of key skill position talent that made up the nucleus of a 13-1 team. The Bobcats will give the ball to Terrence Smith who made a name for himself during last year's playoffs. Kyle Hendley takes the reins at QB. On defense Travis Martino and Brian Ramirez lead the way in the secondary. Bob Adams is a key cog on the defensive front. Talent remains but key positions must be filled effectively.
