Outlook: The Eagles are very young but very talented at key spots. Coach Todd Phillips has eight starters back including key backfield talent. Sophomore Cody Smith fired for more than 1,300 yards last year and more than two dozen scores. At RB Cody Atwood combined to run and pass for 1,400 yards last season. At WR Adrian Byrd, Kris McDonald, and Luke Neely are good targets. Blake Simpson leads the defense at LB, and William Bullock anchors the line. In a competitive conference, the Eagles can't be overlooked.
