Outlook: Improving last year's 4-6 record seems likely for coach John Waugh's Cougars, with more than 60 percent of his roster back, including fifteen starters. Key skill position talent is back in the fold, including QB Zach Bosier, who passed for well over 1,000 yards last season. At RB, Darrell Cantu-Harkless had a very productive season last year, grinding out close to six yards per carry. Mark Davis may also see carries for a team who should be able to put points on the board. The defense will be led by linemen Josh Mullins and Kevin Park. Jonathan Delgadillo leads the LBs. A big move forward is possible.
