Young Lions face season with freshman-heavy lineup
Coach Pottmeyer notes questions with a young quarterback and relies on a strong defense to carry the load. Starting receivers Josh Dix and Carl Rogers join a backfield featuring Erique Bacon and Chris Tolliver. Offensive line includes Chad Smith and Javon Russell, while defensive standouts Travis Preston, Jesse Stephens, and Jeff Davis anchor the unit. The team plans to lean on depth as it begins a schedule with three road games in the first five and four of the last five in conference play.
