Team strengths: Skill positions on the offensive side as well as returning offensive line. On defense, it’s the defensive line.

Team concerns: Inexperience in the secondary. Replacing two linebackers. Filling the quarterback spot as veteran Julian Hill recovers from a  knee injury.

Coach’s comment: The key to our success will be relying on talent in our returning offensive players and the quick maturity of our secondary (players).
