Outlook: The Wildcats return ten starters from a team that went 4-6 last year. Jackson Crawley is back at QB after a decent 2007 under center. Who his top weapons will be on offense is a question, though Jonathon Sharpless shows promise at WR. The defense will revolve around a linebacking core that includes Chad Polk, Everette Lee, and Hank Hlavaty. Newcomers Thomas Garner and Tim Moore will also add depth and talent at LB. A lot of key offensive skill positions must find adequate talent to fill them, and play in the trenches needs to improve.
