New starters are needed at key positions, though RB Joshua Ingo saw action last year and should move into the starting role without an issue. The starting QB spot is up in the air, and that means they don't know who will get the ball to Junior WR Larry Dupree. Matthew McBain will anchor both lines, and he's very talented, but he needs some help. A lot of questions need to be answered, but some talent is in the fold. Playing the Mustangs early in the year is a lot more desirable than playing them at the end.
