Outlook: On offense, the Texnas have QB Bryan Curb back. Unfortunately for coach Leonard McAngus, he's the only returner on offense. Seven starters are back on the defense, including Safety's Lee Taylor and Lars Huizenga. Newcomers must emerge on offense in order for the team to experience success. McAngus thinks Northwest will be "much improved." In order for that to be the case, the offense must come together quickly.
