Outlook: Last season's one win campaign should act as a learning year for the Tigers. Starting QB Will Cowan struggled with accuracy and how much he grows from last year will go a long way to determining how good this year can be. Jesse Shipley and Jake Buchanan and will be a key targets in the passing game. Jeff Barry should get the nod at RB. On the offensive front Issac Scoggins and Edward Gomez lead the way. Alex Astello should be a defensive standout at LB. The defense needs more big time players to step up, and work at QB must improve.
