Undersized QB Adrian Moya passed for more than 1,300 yards with eleven scores last season, and RB Jesus Quiroz is also back after a solid 2007. Eddie Cerda leads a solid group of veteran offensive linemen. The defense should be strong in the secondary, with Corners Robert and Dago Vidal returning. Key defensive linemen also return for a squad that could be dramatically improved this year.
