Only six starters are back, and Lee Rodgers is moving from Safety to QB. John Lattal will start at RB for a team with a lot of questions entering the year. Risien has a good pedigree, and some talent is back, but molding the program into his image and developing his type of system takes a little time. Mild improvement is possible.
