2017 Outlook: Please let us know the keys about your team on offense, defense and special teams. What are your keys to having a successful year? 

Offense: We have to spread the ball around to our playmakers and give them opportunities to make the necessary plays for us. Convert in the redone and make explosive plays.

Defense: Communicate efficiently, execute our alignment, assignment and technique.  Limit big plays, create turnovers, get off the field on 3rd downs.

Special Team: execute efficiently in the kicking game with our PAT. Also maintain the field position game with our punting and kickoff units while setting up our offense with our return units.
