Outlook: Coach Mark Byrd returns six starters, including RB Frank Williams. The Wolves will be quick but, for the most part, inexperienced in 2008. The goal is simple, according to Byrd, "Be a play-off team and be a disciplined team." A QB, however, must emerge, and the team will have to find depth and experience in a hurry in order to have great success.
