Last season, Silas was fed the ball early and often by coach Dwayne Colbert; he produced more than 1,000 yards on the ground with twelve scores. Silas should be busy once again this season. At QB, James Banks played some last year and is back, but Darnell Jones will challenge him for the starting role. The offensive line should be a strength. The defense has six starters back, but playmakers must emerge. Improving on last year's 3-6 mark is very possible.
