Coach Mike Woodley says this about the offense: "I believe we can be a good football team in 2013. We return all of our starters on offense and the core of our defense from 2012. It will be hard to replace Jon Higgins our All-American defensive end but a group of young ends will get their chance. As is every year, injuries will have to be minimal to key players. As far as wins and losses, we will be playing the most challenging schedule in school history with the addition of St. Francis (IN) and St. Xavier (IL). We will play five ranked teams in the NAIA and NCAA Div I Drake University, the Pioneer League Champions for the last two years. This year will be a huge challenge...”	Coach says this about the defense:
