Outlook: Second year Coach Josh Young thinks the team has a better grasp of the new offensive scheme introduced last year. The student leadership and off-season conditioning has improved significantly. D.J. Jackson TE/LB, Cougar Williams WR/FS and Christian Ramos WR/OLB are the core of that leadership. As the Hanford Bullpups move from Division II to Division III, they may be better prepared for playoff potential.
