Biggest challenge: Inexperience.

Coach’s Assessment: “The biggest challenge for us is to come together as a team,” Bartczak said. “We have a lot of new faces and a bunch of guys that haven't had a lot of time to play as a cohesive unit. (Randy) Wimmer is a senior and it will be his fifth year as a starter, so he has a lot of experience. Blending that experience together with a crew of hungry new guys is going to be the key to our success.”
