Outlook: If the Bears are to improve on last year's one-win season, playmakers must emerge at key skill positions. Though coach Todd Moody's squad has eight starters back, including six on offense, there is virtually no varsity experience at key skill positions. Steven Wilson and Hunter Gonzalez are candidates to play QB, while Chad Humphrey and Jyrun Miller will vie for carries. Michael Green and Howard Griffith are candidates to be starting WRs. A run-based offense is going to need great line play and players to step up in order to put points on the board. With two starting defenders back, the Bears should be better towards the end of the season as they will gain experience at the start of the year.
