Outlook: After a 5-5 record last season, Bulldog coach Shawn Pratt has seven starters back this year, but only one plays offense. Colton Duncan is that one, and he is an experienced, talented offensive lineman. At QB, Vince Stanko returns, but former RB Josh Matthews could also see time. Aaron Matthews should start at Tight End. The defense should be ok in the trenches. Though standout players are on the roster, a lot of newcomers must play key roles, and a lot of questions must be answered quickly in order to repeat a .500 year.
