Play in the running game should be a strength with returner Demon Haire back and newcomers Devon Lockhart and Demond Horsley looking for carries. Newbie David Buford should be a key contributor catching passes. The lines are inexperienced and will need to learn on the fly. Melton thinks significant improvement is likely.
