There should be a notable improvement on offense, where they only averaged 8.6 points per game. QB Richard Cooper returns to lead a senior-laden unit. With big seasons, RB Dominique Fuqua, OL Alexi Samaan, and TE Michael Hodges could all garner recruiting attention. Considering the struggles of the offense last year, allowing 24.1 ppg on defense doesn't sound especially bad. Much experience returns on that side of the ball, including Ivan Enriquez in the secondary and Leo Garcia, a 1st team All-South Bay League selection at LB. An excellent opportunity for a playoff spot looms for the Trojans this fall.
