The Grizzlies return fourteen starters, including Quinton Perry QB, Matt Day DB/WR and Ben Johnson RB/LB. The team returns all their defensive backs, and they will depend on experience, their passing game, and skill positions for success. Coach Tom St. Jacques has been working to solidify linemen skills sets. He summarized "(Our team will have) a slightly improved offense and a much improved defense; we will have a slightly improved but much tougher schedule."
