Bennett was ultra successful with the Tigers in the 1980's and now returns after a stint at the D1 college level. Colton Watson starts at QB with Greg Gaston at RB. At WR Kenneth Harrison is a young player with a lot of potential. Defensive standouts are needed. Another seven win season is possible but won't be easy.
