Strengths-Run/Pass balance, defense let up only 11pts per game. Diversity of weapons.

Drawbacks-immune systems!  A lot of graduating starters.

Overview-Mustangs improved each game and were able to bounce back from a 2 week illness period.  Coaching staff employed all talents expertly throughout season as conditions dictated.  Truly a miracle season.
