Key players are back, with Quentin Russell returning at QB after passing for nearly 1,200 yards and rushing for 200 more last season. Russell contributed 14 scores to his offense in 2007. Jimario Piro is a dynamic player wherever he lines up. Piro will run and catch; it's a challenge for Gray to get him the ball often without space to work. Robert Primes is the top returning WR who should see lots of work. The defense will be led by play in the secondary where Safeties Trequez Price and Brodderick Pipkins lead the way. After a good 2007, an even better 2008 is possible.
