Biggest storyline in 2015: Can the Fighting Saints reload? With just seven starters back from a year ago (four offense, three defense), this will be an inexperienced team to start the season.
Names to watch: Kicker/punter/wide receiver Nick Candre has D-I level kicking and punting abilities, and quarterback Zach Mitchell returns as a starter in his junior season.
