2019 Offensive Outlook: The keys to winning for this team will be to lean on the offensive line and run the ball with authority. We have experience up front and will have a new QB to take the reigns, so turning around and handing the ball off to George May will be our primary goal. We need to catch balls and have some of our skill guys stretch the field when the opportunity presents itself.

2019 Defensive Outlook: Tackle and run to the ball. Team defense will be key to our success

2019 Special Teams Outlook: Jack Wessler will be key to making sure we limit teams ability to create any momentum from their special teams play.
