Mike Says:The Bulldogs will have a tough road ahead of them. Coach Hawkins will have his hands full trying to turn around a team that got outscored 42-532 last year.

Chris Says: There is a lot of experience coming back, but all they have experienced is losing. Things don't look like they will turn around drastically but if Dawson can get something rolling, they could turn in a surprise or two. They have experience against some really good squads and that alone has some value if they can learn from their mistakes. 3 or 4 wins should be well within their reach this season.
