That type of finish would not be out of the question for this fall, as 6 starters are returning and the defense should improve. The main question on offense is how much of the weight Coach Gracey wants to put on sophomore QB Derrick Dison. Dison saw some action last year with the varsity as a freshman and actually did fairly well. That could prove interesting as the receivers (notably, Stephen Harlow, Daril Manns, and Kyle Smith) are believed to be amongst the strengths of the team.
