OFFENSE: The Knights had no trouble moving the ball last season, averaging 373.2 total ypg, but they struggled greatly to turn those yards into points, scoring a mere 19.3 ppg. The team scored just 20 touchdowns in 50 trips to the red zone last season, a result of numerous poor decisions and turnovers. Still, there is hope for improvement in this area thanks to the return of eight starters and several other experienced players. The team is expected to lean a little more on tailback Kevin Smith, who rushed for 934 yards and seven touchdowns before injuring his shoulder last season. The 6-1, 211-pound junior has tremendous quickness and when healthy he is among the top backs in the league.
