Last year, the Buffs went 5-1 in district play, and this season there are some key returning players back. Deshawn Griffin is likely to see a lot of carries, though Lawrence Zacharie may also see work in the backfield. At QB, Alfred Hill may move from WR behind center, but there is room for someone to emerge as the team's signal caller. The offensive line is strong. The defense needs playmakers to emerge, and though the team certainly has talent, figuring out individuals roles and becoming a cohesive unit usually takes a little time.
