After a 5-6 season last year, Colton Lusson and Clete Donovan are learning the system and competing to start at QB. Vance Robinson saw action last year at RB, and he will see a lot more work this season. The same is true for Xavier Jefferson who goes from being an extra WR to a receiver expected to make plays and produce. The defense should be solid in the secondary, with Jordan Cole and Frankie Nobles. The strength of the defense will be at LB, where Hudson Stancliff and Michael Harris hold things down. The defense must do a lot of the work, but if they do, and the offense learns on the fly, another good year is possible.
