After doubling their win total and posting one of top turnarounds in the nation last season, the Northern Arizona University football team enters spring practice next week with optimism and momentum. NAU returns 39 letterwinners highlighted by consensus All-American Alex Watson among nine starters on offense. Overall, 14 starters return in 2007.
“We took a lot of information from 2006 and learned a lot about ourselves,” said Head Coach Jerome Souers. “The key is to build on it and not relearn the mistakes that we made. We let a couple games go last fall that we know we should have had.”
The Lumberjacks went 6-5 overall with a 4-3 record in Big Sky Conference play to finish fourth overall.
Souers will be challenged to replace Walter Payton Award runner-up Jason Murrietta at quarterback.
