Outlook: On the surface, Claremont may have had a miserable season last year, finishing winless. Upon further review, however, it must be noted that their schedule was actually fairly tough (half of their opponents were rated 30 or higher using our own computer rating) and the Wolfpack were generally competitive in the majority of their games. The biggest reason for their troubles last season was youth. Well, Claremont will be young no more, returning 16 starters (a whopping 9 on offense). Defensively, new head coach Terrance Lynch still thinks he may need to work out some issues, but overall he feels fairly comfortable with his team. "We should again be competitive in the Baseline League."
