This season, only one offensive starter returns, and it will be interesting to see how returning Fullback Angel Marroquin does getting carries behind an all new offensive front. Osvaldo Cantu should help in the ground game, returning after playing a secondary role for most of last season at RB. On defense, the line will be anchored by Elias Reyes, while the secondary will be led by Safety Mark Garcia. A lot of new players will be asked to get a lot done. A good program will regress, but how much depends upon the returners' focus and who emerges at key spots.
