Things could turn around a bit this fall, though, as the Nitros return 14 starters with 8 on offense. The offensive line should remain intact, but Coach Rafik Thorossian will be looking for someone to take over the running back duties. The linebackers should be the strength of the defense with returners Jean Khajarian and Robert Escobar. Coach Thorossian also noted the addition of a couple of coaches to his staff; he believes they will improve the program overall.
