This year wasn't the skill positions as much as the line, On D poor tackling seen several time they had the runner in the back field and he would excape for for big yards. And while 3 of the lineman were sophomores ,they have pretty good size but still should have improved more. Not sure if they shouldn't have made the taller sophomore QB the starter and made the SR one a RB or receiver.Mitchell may have been down this year no doubt about it. But I do recall some of their posters saying they would be good next year. Coach Pittman is a good coach I'm sure they'll be in the mix next year In the 2a ranks.
So there is good skill players coming back but it will again be up to wether the line improves.
