Outlook: Head coach Ed McCabe has 13 starters returning, including QB Mike McNamara. The Junior QB tossed for 1,400 yards and 18 TDs last year in only six games. The defense will be led by Senior Sean Cady who, playing as a Defensive End last season, led the squad in tackles, sacks, and blocked kicks. When McNamara is under center, he'll look for Nick Linton, Isaac Frost and Stephen Dunnigan at WR. If the defensive line plays well, and the offense is consistent, it will be a good year.
