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

The key to our offense is continuing to stay balanced. The key to this will be replacing 4 of 5 linemen, as well as our starting QB and RB. Continuity will be key.

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

Defense has been our strong suit and that needs to continue as we fill many holes on both sides of the ball.

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?)

The theme of replacing starters continues in this area as well. Our returners are back, so field position will be vital for us.
