Outlook: The one-two punch of QB Adrian Solis and RB Jaime Garcia return for coach Mike Martinez after the Wildcats finished at .500 last season. Solis aired it out to the tune of close to 2,000 yards passing and 25 scores in 2007, while Garcia sprinted for nearly 1,000 yards. Travis Garay and Enrique Nunez are top targets in the passing game. On defense, Dylan Cordero captains the LBs, while Nick Ramirez and Garay lead the secondary. Players are in place for an improved campaign.
