They averaged less than 20 points per game overall in '07, but that figures to change for '08. 8 starters return, including junior QB Greg Watson, WR Irshad Stolden, and Gary Berwick, Bryan Townsend, and Jon Hernandez on the OL. The defense has a solid defensive front returning, including LBs Daniel Fonua, Buddy Welka, and DLs Charles Fowlkes, Rudy Gallegos, and Cory Colbath. In all, Coach Nick Baiz feels his team is "much improved."
