Outlook: The Owls return only six starters and will need to fill key skill positions. The offensive line should be pretty good with Patton Gilliam, Curtis Stoner and newcomer Ben Neuman. Lee Ray Quintenillo and Beau Zinsmeyer will compete to start at RB, and the QB spot is wide open. Coach PJ Wells' team is not deep or experienced. Young players will need to fill important roles and do so well in order for a good season.
