While Watts might be the offensive star, top returning WR Sir Horace Saulsberry has a world class name and, after scoring four TDs last season, will be a very active part of the offense. Rhett Bohannon will start at QB after tossing 10 TDs last year. On defense, Joe Carrington is back after leading the team with 70 tackles and 3 Interceptions last season. A lot of starters back and impact guys at skill positions should mean a big season for the Bulldogs.
