Outlook: Although they lost their quarterback to graduation (Andy Schuler will be replaced by his younger brother, Nate, who played wideout last year), the Tigers have plenty of talent returning with eight offensive starters and seven defensive starters. Still, only six seniors have varsity experience, so youth is an issue.
