What to expect: A good mix of veteran and new talent takes the Knights into their new class. Tibbetts and Downing split time last year and will vie for playing time at QB, with Tibbetts playing wing-back when Downing is under center. They have good athletes at the skill positions. The line may take some time to mesh, but, like most of the team, they are ahead of where they were at this time last year. The defense has the most holes to fill, particularly on the defensive line.
