Coach Darrell Andrus should be excited about the offense, with six starters back, including 1,000-yard-passer Clay Collier at QB. Michael Gowens returns at RB after a solid season last year. He could easily surpass the 1,000-yard rushing mark this year. Taylor Gunter and Mike Cason should be top targets in the passing game. On defense, the secondary has Safety Ramon Flowers and Corner Orlando Pratt returning. Up front, newcomers must emerge. The players you need to succeed are on the roster, now they just need to put it together. Another good year should be expected.
