Thirteen starters are back, with eight on defense. That unit should be headed by linebacker play as Scott Fyall, Mitch Lawson, and Spencer Wood are all very solid playmakers. Up front, Graeme Ramsey and Matt Peden lead the way. In the secondary, Heath Petty, Matt Erickson and Chris Smith are talented. The offense will be led by QB Jacob Moore, though Jeff Tuck is a good backup and will be used in some way. Chris Smith gets the call at RB. Improvement is certainly possible if the defense leads the way.
