They'll have to be better if the team is to have a better season than last year, and that is possible with players on both sides of the ball coming up from a JV squad that was 10-0 in 2007. On offense, Alvester Alexander will be depended on big time as the starting RB. Terrence Guy should also see carries. On defense, the line should be a strength with three talented newcomers. The Panthers could improve on last season, but a similar result as last season seems likely.
