Outlook: Kangaroo coach Kenny Wheaton has eight starters back and will have good competition at key spots. Chris Jackson and Mitchael Rucker will battle for time under center with Chris Fielder and Rucker competing for carries. At WR, Shelby Armstrong will be a top target. A lot of players are gone from last year's team, but there are a few key guys on the roster returning. Being competitive in most games seems reasonable.
