Outlook: The Elks are very young in 2008 with only three starters returning. At WR, options include Greg Vesta and Paul Klimas. James Owen is the likely starter at RB, with Theo Hollars also seeing carries. At QB, Corey Bail (only a sophomore) will probably start. The team will improve as the year moves along with talent for the future solid.
