2023 Outlook: We need to be able to run the ball well to complement our passing game. Inexperience in the secondary must be overcome by total team effort until we can gel.

Offense: Offense with 9 of 11 starters back, we need to fill in the RB position.

Defense: We took a major hit here and have a lot of positions and questions to fill.
