Dago Garcia is back at QB after throwing for nearly 1,300 yards and nine scores last season. At RB, Carlo Lujan and Sergio Carlos combine for a solid one-two punch in the ground game, while Sophomore Julian Garcia could also see action. Top receiver Matt Medina will be joined by Gilbert Gill as targets for Garcia. The defense will be led by LBs Adrian Alvarado and Ryan Longoria. In the secondary, Ruben Cruz, Mario Trejo, and Ruben Salinas lead a talented group. There is reason for optimism with a team that should be ready to go from the season's opening kickoff.
