Chris Chudej is likely to assume the the role of starting QB, and the line in front of him should be solid with returners Chet Dillenbeck, Chris Flores and Jose Lara, along with veteran Tight End Doran Proske. Newcomer Cody Pavlicek should help what will be an experienced, talented, and deep line. The defense is less experienced on the line and the secondary is young as well. In total, 18 Seniors are gone from last year's squad, so young players will need to step up and do so quickly in order to reach levels of the recent past.
