Outlook: Coach Valentin Montemayor's Lobos are a quick but inexperienced group in 2008. Eight starters are back from last season's four win campaign, but key roles are switching at important positions. Jorge Silva takes over at QB after playing sparingly under center last year. Danny Perez could also see work as the team's signal caller. Alonso Olivares will be a primary target for whoever starts at QB. On defense, Phillip Longoria will lead the LBs with Jerry Lopez captaining the secondary. If play in the trenches is solid, and key playmakers step forward, it could be a solid year.
