Outlook: With the returning duo, Matt and Adam Goggans - Matt as a DI recruited quarterback and Adam taking the hand-off - the Amador Buffaloes expect to have a strong season. The Buffaloes also return a stout line to protect the QB. Coach Steve Goggans is optimistic that transfer Tylor Glock WR will help supplement secondary offensive deficiencies. Defensive skill players need to develop to round out Amador's potential for this season.
