That is the sentiment expressed by Coach Bob Johnson in reference to his team's four losses (on the field) a year ago. A great deal of excitement is growing in southern Orange County as the Diablos return a solid QB in Allen Bridgford and the exciting Alex Mascarenas at WR/DB. The front 7 on defense is expected to be very strong, led by Josh Steinart at DE, Erek Antis at DT, and Kristopher Mueller at LB. The biggest question mark may be at offensive line, but Coach Johnson believes there is a lot of potential in his newcomers up front.
