Outlook: Ten starters return for coach Doug Wendel, as the Bulldogs look to get over .500 after last season's 4-6 campaign. Chris Compton has the ability to use his feet or arm as a major weapon, with running perhaps his top weapon. Zach Keeling should be a decent target in the passing game. Trevan Johnson will be utilized as a threat in the running game, though Justin Calhoun should get carries too. Linebacker should be the defensive strength, with Caleb Bailey and Jammar Junior both back. The defense needs a playmaker or two, but there is no reason why the Bulldogs can't compete.
