Outlook: Coach Scott Callaway thinks the Bears can be slightly improved, despite returning just eight starters. RB Cameron Price will be depended on to provide a lot of the offense, while WR Terrence Leach should see balls come his way. Two key returning LB's are back, but overall depth is a weakness. A QB must emerge in order to have great success.
