Outlook: The Manteca Buffaloes will be about the same as last year according to team reports. This achievement may be difficult with only four returning starters from last year. Nick Gardner OL/DL, James Glidden RB/LB, LaRon Bennett WR/DB and Dylan Gonzalez QB are expected to lead the inexperienced team. The Buffaloes will be strongest on the line and in the passing game.
