Outlook: The Indians have nine starters back. There is also real promise for young QB Cam Allerheilgen. Coach Kevin Atkinson should let Allerheilgen, the starter on last year's JV team who passed for about 3,000 yards, fling it. Evan Perkins is a solid receiver, as is Aaron Young. Bear Allbritton and Matt White are other solid candidates at WR. The defensive front needs young players to step up, but key guys are on the roster to play on the defensive line and at LB. A good year seems reasonable.
