Coach’s Comments: “We expect to be very explosive on offense and put points on the board. The big question for us is: Can some of the young guys step up defensively? Our skilled positions on offense are really solid with youth and speed. We have a backfield that always has competed against each other for carries and touches, but they are each other’s biggest fans and supporters. 
​
We have holes to fill, but I’m looking for the experienced guys to find their roles. Our D-line looks thin on paper. Conference Indiana is always competitive, so every week we go up against a well-prepared team.”
