2011 record: 3-6, no playoff appearance

Key losses: Josh Clark (OL), Ryan Cobb (QB)

Key newcomers: Peyton Spencer (rising sophomore, OLB), Cole Council (rising senior, WR/OLB) and Joey Giardina (rising freshman, QB)

Key position battle: With seven returning starters on both sides of the football, there isn't one position battle going on. Instead, Gerber said it's a matter of repetition of what they are doing.
