At RB, Johnny Harris and Marion Grice make a solid one-two combo, regardless of which guy starts. At QB, Zerick Rollins takes over the starting role after playing well in spot duty last season. The top WR is Kelvin Chatham with LaMarquis King and Josh Huff providing depth. On defense, End Danzale White is a load for opposition to contain. Though the Cougars lack numbers, they have talent back and should be competitive, especially if one or two newcomers makes a significant difference.
