Eric Matthews will start at QB with Alex Alexander back at RB. Alexander did a little of everything last year, totaling more than 500 yards of offense, eight scores, and made 120 tackles as a Safety. Joining Alexander in the defensive secondary will be Arron Brown and Todd Turner. At LB DeQuinn Williams and Celso Arrando lead the way. Coach David Walthal has a team that should compete from the season's opening kickoff.
