Head coach Dan Patterson took an immediate leave of absence after being diagnosed with tonsillar cancer and how it will affect the team on the field has yet to be seen.
Consistency has been a problem for the Leathernecks in recent years, but the squad remains talented with running back Herb Donaldson returning for his senior campaign after leading the conference's top rushing attack with 1,491 yards and 10 touchdowns.
