Corrill has more players who run the 40 in less than five seconds than he ever has before and the team's use of its increased speed is important. ®Will struggle if the unproven offensive and defensive lines are still unproven by season's end. Kent and Kelley are the SBC's top linebacking duo and the secondary is experienced, but Ike Clepper's graduation leaves concerns on the defensive line.

The offensive line features four seniors, including two who missed last season due to ACL injuries. James Rebensdorf is expected to carry much of the offense's burden at fullback. How well he handles the role is key. ►Will struggle if the team gets, off to a bad start. Having won just five games in four years, the last thing the Broncos need is another losing record out of the gates.

►Coach: Ken Osborne (177122) ®Will succeed if a running game fails to develop to keep opposing defenses honest. Rob Sipple is a proven QB and has good targets in Chris Poole and David Ross. However,the loss of 1,000yard rusher John Malott leaves a glaring hole at tailback and, without a viable rushing attack, the passing game may suffer as defenses adjust. N> Will struggle if the team continues to be hit by Injuries. Starting defensive end Jim Comes tore his MCL in preseason practice and is out for the season. With only 38 players on the team, depth is a major concern,
(237 yards in '97) is the top returning rusher. The offensive line is big and experienced, but its skills will go for naught if the Rockets' wing-T isn't operated efficiently.
