2021 Offensive Outlook: We will rely on our massive OLine to establish an aggressive run game that will help open up the pass for our athletic receivers.

2021 Defensive Outlook: The physical strength of our DLine and the athleticism of our secondary will allow us to be aggressive, multiple defenses.

2021 Special Teams Outlook: Keys to special teams would be to develop a kicking game. Our return game, which is a staple in our history, will have many returning starters.
