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

Returning over 2000 rushing yards in Wilson, George, and Lutz in the backfield. Sophomore QB Derr started every game in 2015 and the team went 12-2, he will be drastically better and carry more responsiblities. Up front, only Glanski is back, but there is a lot of depth at the guard spot and some talent at tackle.

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

Strength is in four returning LBs. Lutz will anchor the secondary. The DL has a ton of athleticism and ability, it needs to show up in games.

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?)

Consistent in the kicking game. Smith will be a difference maker on punts and kickoffs.
