Offensive strengths/areas for improvement:
All of our skilled starters are back except our quarterback. If our JV guy steps up, we have a chance to score some points.
Defensive strengths/areas for improvement:
We will be big up front with some quickness in the defensive backfield. We need to stop the big play.
Special team Strengths:
Austin Basterrechea is a two-time all-conference punter. We hope to not use him as much in that area this year.
Offensive Outlook:
We'll use the spread option and try to score more points. Players have to make plays when given the opportunity.
Defensive Outlook:
We should be solid against the run with some big guys up front. The key is stopping the big play on 3rd down and making plays.
Coach's Team Summary:
This group of seniors and juniors gel well together and with a new coach who knows what will happen. Coach Anderson is a motivator and a very intense individual. Players will play hard for him. Buhl and Kimberly will be tough, but after that the other three teams should shoot it out for third. Players need to re-dedicate themselves to the weight room if they want to turn it around.
