Dalton Melton is back at QB after gaining experience and playing inconsistently last year. Richard Pittman returns at RB after a workmanlike 2007. On defense linemen Zach Quick and Jason Winn lead the way, with Corey Adkinson a key member of the secondary, and Clint Kalinec anchoring the LBs. Improving last season's 1-9 record drastically will be difficult but a significant step forward is likely.
