The Cougars will be a fairly young team this fall, returning only 8 starters. QB Brandon Brennan will be moving over from the TE position, and he'll have WR Lee Casas as a likely main target. Although, on paper, the defense may be about the same as last year, the young offense may not be providing much rest for that unit.
