2016 Offensive outlook: (Please let us know the keys about your team on offense. What are your keys to having a successful year?)

Our biggest key to our offense this year will be replacing a talented group of athletes. We have four of our five offensive lineman back, but we will need to develop players at several key skill positions.

2016 Defensive Outlook: (Please let us know the keys about your team on defense. What are your keys to having a successful year?)

The keys to our defense will be the same as our offense. We have several skill positions to replace on defense, but we have a majority of our DL back.

2016 Special Teams Outlook: (Please let us know the keys about your team on special teams. What are your keys to having a successful year?)

We have our kicker back, but will need to find a new punter.
