Outlook: It's time to fling it for coach Mark Howard. The Titans went 1-9 last season with the biggest bright spot being QB Ryan Mossakowski. After passing for nearly 3,000 yards last year, running for close to 300 more, and combining for 26 scores, the Titans should feature an aerial attack again this year. Bryan Singer will be a top target in the passing game, and even RB Aaron Kirkpatrick will be asked to catch passes. The defense has seven starters back and should be solid in the trenches. The Titans will try to outscore opponents, and with a talent like Mossakowski, if opponents look past Centennial, they will be in for a long night.
