Gray Raley returns at QB after completing over 50-percent of his passes last year totaling more than 1,100 yards. Taylor Johnson should start at RB with the defense being led by Jonathan Holmes and Matt Podojil at LB and Robert Greco in the trenches. With most of last year's roster back and a couple of standout players coach Leland Surovik's squad is one or two more impact players away from being a championship type team.
