RIGHT NOW I LIKE …
Our young defensive backs. We have several DBs that have natural football instincts and will make an immediate impact on our defense with their toughness and speed.
I also like what I have seen out of our QB, Luke Creditt, who appears to be settling in with our new offense. And our RBs looking to be more of a factor this year.
RIGHT NOW WE NEED TO IMPROVE …
Consistency at the receiver position. With very little playing experience returning at that position, they need to continue to improve at that position with route running, catching the ball, and blocking.
OTHER THAN OUR TEAM, WHO WILL BE THE TEAM TO BEAT IN YOUR LEAGUE AND WHY
Mount Union is the defending National Champs and 25 year defending Conference Champs. They are at the top, they represent the best in D3.
ANYTHING ELSE YOU’D LIKE TO SAY ABOUT TEAM, SEASON
We are looking at taking the next step this year with our program. We expect to turn the corner and not just be competitive in games, our goal is to win games. The quest has begun, I am looking forward to watching it unfold.
