Gilman looks ready-made to go toe-to-toe with a rugged Ohio opponent. On defense, the Greyhounds have an outstanding front seven that boasts five returning starters, including Michigan-bound tackle
Henry Poggi and Virginia-committed linebacker
Micah Kiser. The leader on offense is senior
Shane Cockerille, a Maryland recruit who posted more than 1,000 yards both passing and rushing in 2011.
Moeller is returning 13 starters from a team that was unbeaten and nationally ranked midway through last season before it closed with four losses in six games. The Crusaders have nine experienced players on offense, including quarterback
Spencer Iacovone, a Division 1 baseball recruit who passed for more than 2,000 yards as a junior. On the other hand, Moeller's defense will be largely rebuilt. But the group is strong in the middle with Michigan State-committed linebacker
Shane Jones leading the way.
