2020 Offensive Outlook: Two year starting QB Ryan Petrosky will have to lead a Senior group of skill players early until our young but talented offensive line gets their feet wet. If we can establish a ball control offense and limit turnovers our depth can take control late in games and will allow us to finish.

2020 Defensive Outlook: Have to limit explosive plays, which hurt us in 2019. We have 7 talented returning starters with up and coming sophomores and Juniors who got a lot of playing time last year that will give us depth that will keep us fresh late in games. We did well in the turnover margin last year but interceptions weren’t part of it, have to improve our pass defense.

2020 Special Teams Outlook: 1/3 of the game that is often on back burner, For us it has to be a part of our game that helps us win. With a great PK back in Alex Romanoski and P in Ethan Shudak we feel great about our special teams. Team speed will also allow us to have great coverage teams this year.
