Outlook: After an eight win season last year, coach Ray Zepeda has nine starters back and must replace key skill position talent. While the defensive front should be solid with Greg Evans and Misael Cardenas, and LB play is a strength with Rob Chenier and Desmond Smith, it is the glamor positions that are a concern. Who will start at QB and RB are big concerns, and no top receivers are apparent. The defense should be solid, and line play could be ok, but there are major question marks on offense.
