COACH: Dan Enos — At Central Michigan and overall: 6-18, 2 years
OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR: Mike Cummings
DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR: Joe Tumpkin
LAST LEAGUE TITLE: 2009
LAST BOWL: 2009, GMAC
RETURNING STARTERS: 18; 9 offense, 7 defense, kicker, punter
PLAYERS TO WATCH: QB Ryan Radcliff, RB Zurlon Tipton, RB Anthony Garland, WR Titus Davis, LB Cody Lopez, DB Jahleel Addae, DB Avery Cunningham, K David Harman
PRIMARY STRENGTHS: Radcliff is the established leader on offense and has more experienced personnel — especially at receiver — around him. The defense also should be stouter, returning its top three tacklers from last year, including Addae, an All-MAC defensive back.
PRIMARY PROBLEMS: Finding a playmaker at running back is likely the biggest concern. Neither Tipton nor Garland has the experience of being a top back; one or both must emerge quickly if the running game is to be a factor.
