Outlook: Coach Mike Zierlein begins season number two at the helm of Akins, who has never experienced a lot of success on the gridiron. RB Xavean Mcgee and a trio of returning WR's, Ricky Daily, Stefon Jones, and Knockus Sashington, should help new QB Kenny Davis. The offense is pretty big. In year two under Zierlein, the team should improve with better understanding of the system.
