Coach Kevin Higgins led The Citadel to its best season since the Bulldogs finished the 1992 regular season ranked No. 1 and the Bulldogs have the potential to be even better for 2008-09 thanks to their deepest team in years.
Andre Roberts (78 receptions, 13.8 average) is one of the premier receivers in FCS, and sophomore Bart Blanchard came on to impress at QB after Duran Lawson went out with a knee injury.
Cody Wilson must replace Tory Cooper as a dependable running back, but will have an experienced line to run behind that includes John Muirhead.
The Bulldogs featured the SoCon's best defense last season, but lost three major performers from that unit in LB Andrew Rowell, safety Josh Lawson and DE Trevor Broughton. Kevin McCaskell should be a force on the defensive line, while linebackers Mel Capers and Reggie Rice and safety Dwight House will be counted on.
