Outlook: The Indians need inexperienced skill position talent to play like veterans this season. In his second season, coach Chuck Galbreath hands the offensive reigns to Chase Knight at QB and Bo Bob Howard at RB. Michael Everett is the top target in the passing game. On defense Safety Josh Copeland, and LB Matt Pascall lead the way. Young players must learn and improve quickly in order for a very strong year.
