The Bulldogs are definitely going to be giving new offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb a great chance to put in his own system. Grubb is getting only 2 players coming back on the offense and that allows for new systems to be easily put in place. Jorge Reyna is starting for the season at quarterback for the Bulldogs and he is a senior, but that should allow for some easier decision making with the ball.
With the Bulldogs the defense was able to play really well on the year last season, but have lost a lot of the starters from last year. The Bulldogs are bringing back only 4 starters on the roster and that could be a major challenge for the team, but the system has been in place for several years now and that should allow the Bulldogs to have players seasoned in the system, even if they are not starters.
