Basic offensive formation Pri I/gun with split back
Offensive outlook
“We are looking to be consistent,” Springer said. “We are above average at our skill positions. Quarterback Josh Hurford is back along with running back Dylan Mick and wide receivers Jerry Billingsley and Zach Jackson. The line is young with no seniors on the offensive line, which is anchored by mostly sophomores. They will need to work hard and pick things up fast.”
Basic defensive formation 4-3/4-4

2012 Outlook
The Trojans return only three starters on each side of the ball, so they will have to develop quickly to continue Sebring’s tournaround. Sebring is coming off consecutive 46 seasons, the only times the Trojans won more than two games in a season since their last winning campaign in 1992. “We are young up front on both sides of the ball,” Springer said. “We must work hard, keep consistent in what we do and stay healthy. We have to correct the mistakes and continue to believe and trust each other.” “GO TROJANS!”
