Harris is returning from a season that he passed for more than 1,300 yards and completed nearly 65-percent of his passes. Landon McGraw and Scott Ackley are key targets while Jordan Tennell gets the nod at RB. On defense Dalton Leopard leads the LBs, with Eric Fisher anchoring the line. In his first year at the helm, Doring's squad should be improved.
