Outlook: Coach Marcus Booker's offense should move seamlessly into 2008 with RB Lionel Rocha, and QB Ben Jollen back. After going 5-6 last season, Rocha returns following a 1,100 yard rushing season, and Jollen is back after playing inconsistently while starting half of the team's games. Both should be improved from the start of this season. Luis Alvarez is a top WR, and LB on defense. Larry Martinez joins him on defense playing in the trenches. Talent is present, but more defensive playmakers are needed.
