Lance Evans is probably coach Todd Shackelford's best player after rushing for more than 1,200 yards last year and starring at Corner on defense. There are also high hopes for RB Devontae McNeal who should create a very tough to defend one-two punch in the backfield. What sort of passing game the Dogs have is a big question with a starting QB up in the air and no real experienced WRs either. On defense the secondary should be good, and overall stopping the running game will be tough and that should prove good enough for a winning year.
