As a team, what are your offensive strengths?
Strong receiving corp. with Taylor throwing to Lickley, Henry, and Mussmann and rounded out with a strong run attack with Burk and Coates.
Offensive areas you hope to improve on over last year:
Will need to improve offensive line play from last year and make the blocking adjustments necessary to move to the 8 man ranks.
