The entire offensive line is back intact, which means Leal should have time to throw, New targets in the passing game are needed. Aaron Correa returns at RB and should have an excellent season with a lot of focus on the passing game. The defense will be led by LBs James Franz and Sam Mangum. Brandon Rock will lead the secondary. There is certainly reason for optimism.
