2012 Outlook
The Tigers have had one losing season in the last 16 years and their eight wins last season was their most since 2000. “We will be a young football team,” Guerriero said. “But with being young, we are enthusiastic and hungry to start the season.” The offensive line should be solid and give younger skilled players time to develop. Springfield is glad to be opening at home against McDonald on Aug. 23. The Tigers have won eight of their last 10 home games.
