Nine starters are back for a team whose numbers are down. On defense, there is strength at LB with Richard Cantu and Joe Garza back. On the defensive front, Luis Roldan will lead a group that needs newcomers to help out. The secondary has a good core group with Joe Velasquez, Tony Cantu and Andrew Ochoa tough to pass against. The offense will be turned over to QB Justin Villarreal with Lorenzo Garcia the man at RB. Another good season is possible, but key skill position talent must play like veterans.
