2020 Offensive Outlook: We have tremendous depth and experience at the offensive skill positions. Will allow us to rotate multiple personnel groups. Need to replace entire starting offensive line from a year ago. How quickly and how efficiently we come together up front will determine our success.

2020 Defensive Outlook: We have tremendous depth and experience in the defensive backfield. Allows us to be multiple and flexible. Need to replace our entire starting linebacker corps. We generated a lot of turnovers last year, but we have to improve our ability to get off the field on 3rd down.

2020 Special Teams Outlook: Junior Placekicker McGill improved greatly as the season went on. Senior Punter Lamey was an All-Catholic selection last year. We need to make all our PAT’s and do a great job in establishing field position.
