Starting QB Antonio Ragstow returns with Chris Busby getting carries, though competition at RB could come from newcomer Darion Granger. Line play is a major work in progress and playmakers on defense are badly needed. Though talent is in the fold, it will take some time to integrate new players into different roles and this looms as a learning season.
