Ram team reshaped under new coach Prothro
The Rams under Tammy Prothro overhaul offense and defense with five starters moved from last year’s defense and four offensive switches. Roman Gabriel remains, while Travis Williams and Willie Tellison push for speed. Lance Rentzel and Jack Snow form receiving options. Les Josephson and Larry Smith anchor the line, with Joe Taffani and Rich Saul adding depth. Secondary shifts create questions, Pat Studstill handles kicking duty. Prediction: Prothro’s philosophy yields a strong but erratic second-place West finish.
