Trey Miller a junior quarterback will start and served in a backup role in 2011. He completed 12 of 29 passes last year for 205 yards and three touchdowns in limited duty under center in 2011. Gee Gee Greene is back in 2012 and was the team’s third leading rusher last year with 507 yards on 64 carries and three touchdowns with an impressive 7.8 yards per rush average.
