Junior Isaac Escobar is back to QB the offense, and top RB Aaron Torres returns along with Wingback Eric Cuellar to lead the running game. The offensive line is back almost intact, and the offense should be much improved. Caceres thinks a mid placed finish is possible, but the defense must be improved. The strength on D is at LB and Defensive End, while the secondary is young and inexperienced. Things can only get better, and the players are on the roster to be improved.
