Coach Frank says this about the offense: Having to replace a lot of production from the tailback position, while continuing to build off the momentum that was created in the second half of the season, will be primary goals of the offense entering August. We look forward to continue taking the next step as an offense and with the continued improvement will come success that we seek as a team. We feel we have a several players that are ready to take on bigger roles in the offense, which will allow flexibility in terms of finding ways to get them the ball, opening up our offense. Competition in fall camp will be interesting as expectations arise for the young men in those positions.	Coach Frank says this about the defense: Defensively, we need to do a better job of seizing opportunites when they arise. Many times last year we had chances to create turnovers and didn't capitalize. This is critical in our success as a team. Giving our offense more possessions, during a game, is something that will be a point of emphasis defensively, during fall camp. Depth along the defensive line is a concern. Through graduation and other circumstances we lost some key players in that position group. Finding players, depth wise, will be a challenge. Through position changes and new faces, hopefully, that depth can be establsihed during August. We had a number of players, that played meaningful snaps last year, that have the ability to step into bigger roles. Their progression, as players, will be critical to our success defensively.
