Outlook: Coach John Bolfing thinks he has a lot of talent and depth. Besides three returning offensive linemen, however, that talent for the most part is young and inexperienced. Tyler Bolfing is likely to be the starting QB, while newcomer Leroy Dobbins likely will get carries. Returning WRs Kevin Caywood and Chance Cartwright and TE Colby Ogletree should be key targets. Depending on how quickly the team matures, they could compete for a playoff spot.
