A lot of players are shifting roles with Sophomore Jake Whitten now at QB. Fullbacks Colton Pepper and Kyle Horton will lead the rushing attack. Newcomers Matthew Chevalier and Taylor Brands may see carries. Codie White, Chris Martinez and Johnny Martinez are top WRs. Line play should be a strength. The defense needs newcomers to emerge. There is reason for optimism, but work must be done.
