2015 Outlook: The key to a successful year will be to establish a run game on offense and to stop the run game on defense. We will also have a new QB this year so we will need him to adjust quickly. Some of the younger guys will need to step up this year and take on bigger roles so they will need to show up as well.

Offense: Need to establish a run game to take some of the pressure off of the pass game. A new QB will have to make the adjustment quickly and learn how to manage the game.

Defense: Need to stop the run and limit the big plays. We also have to win the battle on 3rd and short situations.

Special Team: We need to have better kickoff coverage to put our defense in a manageable position. We took a big hit with our punter graduation, so we will need to find a replacement.
