Antoine Jackson returns at RB with Caleb Little is back at QB. At WR Clayton Orsak and Josh Johnson lead the way. There are some key linemen back on both sides of the ball. Trevor Kinsey and Alex Green lead the secondary. After going 4-6 last season the Cougars have talent but more is needed to compete with upper echelon teams.
