Outlook: With no starter back at either QB or RB, coach Matt Thompson must integrate new players into key spots in the Ranger lineup. Two key Senior linemen are back with Joe Conrad and Jarlen Giaconal; they will each play on both sides of the line of scrimmage. Two newcomers Marcus Gentry and Jonathan Ford are likely to see a lot of carries. A quick team will need to find playmakers, especially at key offensive positions.
