On the surface, it appears that it may be tough for the Eagles to make yet another run, considering they are only returning 6 starters, including an entire offensive line. Radamed Gutierrez should see action again at QB, and look for Carlos Mendez at RB. As is the case for many small schools, depth will be an issue, especially with so much inexperience from the starters. While there is much optimism in the Eagle camp, it's difficult to maintain your level of quality with so much loss.
