2020 Outlook:
Offense: We need to protect the football, convert 3rd down efficiency and win sudden change of possession area. We have a solid set of kill players who are versatile and they have to be just as good when they don’t have the ball in their hands. Our offensive line has a strong nucleus returning.
Defense: Defensively, we have to limit the big plays, get off the field on 3rd downs and win the turnover battle. We have a strong nucleus back with experience – in order to be successful we need to communicate effectively, know our alignments/assignments, read our keys and execute efficiently.
Special Team: Jonathan Perloni will be used as our primary kicker and has been solid in workouts thus far.
