In a run oriented offense, Arnold Nevarez returns at Fullback and should see plenty of work. Junior QB Dennis Dunbar will be counted on to both run and pass. Chase Wehr is a two-way talent who will be a top target in the passing game and play Corner on defense. Joe Bolin will join Wehr in the secondary. Getting over the two-win hurdle is certainly possible, but more options on offense, and key players in the trenches, must step forward.
