Outlook: The time is now for the Bobcats. Coach Russell Anderson has eleven starters back including stud QB Pat Faulk. The Junior passed for nearly 1,700 yards last year, ran for 1,400 more, and combined for just shy for 40 scores. Faulk is an offense all to himself but he's not the only weapon on the roster. Byron Mitchell scored ten times via the ground last year and averaged more than six yards per carry. Faulk is also capable of catching the ball as is WR Ryan Leerskov. The offensive line has dependable players. On defense quality play in the secondary is needed. All signs point to a run for a championship.
