Outlook: After winning just twice last season coach Jay Janczak will rely on Scott Zimmerle at QB. Last year he combined to pass and run for more than 1,200 yards. At WR Jake DeBerry and Matt Dees lead the way. On defense LB should be a strength with Dakota Sebesta and Kendal Evers solid starters. Garrett Zimmerle is a key member of the secondary along with Brad Griffin. Improving a two win season shouldn't be a major problem.
