Outlook: After winning eight games last season, coach Mike Burt's Demons have only eight total starters -- three on offense. Who will start at QB is a big question, with Aaron Thomas and Ricky Gonzalez battling for the starting role. At RB, Valentine Arellanes and Jonathan Alexander are candidates to see carries. Top WR Eric Whitfield is back after scoring nine times last year. The defense should be strong at linebacker, and the secondary will likely be dependable. Play in the trenches needs key contributers to step forward. A step back seems likely.
