Outlook: Key skill position talent is back along with twelve starters for coach Brian Hulett. Colton Brewer is back at RB with Jarrod Moylan returning under center. Top WRs Austin Felts and Blake Galyean are good targets in the passing game. Defensive standouts are needed, but the offense is certainly in good shape. The defense will be the difference in improving last season's 2-8 record.
