Edward Wright and Tyrell Griffin should see lots of work in the ground game after combining for more than 1,200 yards last year. Ryan Hornback will start at QB with Gavin Brown a top target. On defense, up front, Josh Higgins and Jason Bryant will lead the way. Lance Colbert and Aaron Rollins will hold things down in the secondary. Improving to .500 or better is more than possible.
