Outlook: Fourteen starters return for Bearcat coach Byron West, including standout QB Seth Crumpton. He's a run first QB, and he will be a big portion of the offense, but other offensive threats (whether they be running or passing) have yet to be established. Defensive Ends Jacob Herring and Chase Darnell anchor the defense with newcomer Stoney Newberry--another good candidate to play on the line. The defense is quick and should be solid. New facilities should be up for the first game and, the team should be at about the same level as they've been playing recently.
