Offense: Returns 8 starters including QB Nick Foles and RB Nic Grigsby, as well as 4 out of 5 linemen, both WRs, and TE AJ Simmons.
However the unit was middle of the road last year ranking 58th in total offense and 61st in scoring.
So far this year they have outperformed the output from 09 with 518 and 489 total yards respectively and putting up 41 and 52 points, however keep in mind it was against Toledo and Citadel.
Zona likes to spread it out and let the shifty Grigsby work in space which proved to be ineffective last year against the fast Iowa Defense. However, Foles has another year to learn to O and we could see more of a passign focus this year and it will be up to the Iowa line to get pressure.
X Factor-QB Matt Scott, a speedy QB who could pull it down and run and give a D fits, has been working on his throwing motion all off season so dont be surprised to see him in some spot action if Foles struggles.
