Look for:
Offense - Running the football out of the"Stack I" formation. They will line up with multiple backs in the backfield. Tyler McCarley (running back) is expected to be the go to guy this year.
Defense - A 4-3 defense that is meant to stop the run; some of the most experienced players on the team are on the defensive line. Focused on the running game; may be weak against the pass.
Underclassman - only nine upperclassman; the younger players will have to grow up fast
Lots of emotion; this game is always a barn burner; emotions run hot. Look for some intensity.
