rience, they can make plays. We have
a few guys up front who when they're
healthy can do a good job. I'm looking
for them to play well."

have enough answers there exiting
the spring?
Brohm: "It all starts with the guys
kicking and returning. I do feel like
our placekicker, J.D. (Dellinger), has
made some strides and from what I've
seen, I thought he did a very good job.
I feel confident that when the season
starts, he'll be ready to go. I think the

the right kick returners.
"When it comes to schemes and
what we're doing, I feel very confident
