Kyle Moczygemba is back at QB, and Sophomore RB Aaron Hopkins returns. A.J. Gonzales should be the top target for Moczygemba, with Phillip Gonzales anchoring the effort up front. On defense, Quenton Porter at Corner and Jacob Moehrig and Moczygemba at Safety means a decent secondary is back. Players must develop in the trenches, and LBs are badly needed, too. If holes can be filled, slight improvement is possible.
