Taylor Marshall can see over the top of defenses; he fired for ten scores last season. Colby Hoover will again be Marshall's top target in the passing game. The offensive line has experience, while the defense should be solid up front and at linebacker. The Cats should compete throughout the year and be right in the thick of things down the stretch.
