Outlook: Sixteen returning starters dispersed evenly on offense and defense should make the Fighting Rams tough in 2008. QB Joshua Harris is back, as is backfield mate Kendrick Domino at RB. Aaron Perkins could also see carries and WRs Dominic Graham and Steven Ross should be in line for good seasons. The team has good depth and experience, meaning coach Garry Dunham should have high expectations for 2008.
