What to expect: After making the playoffs in each of Taylor’s first two seasons at the helm, the Falcons failed to qualify for the postseason last year and didn’t meet their expectations. Taylor said this year’s senior class has used that as motivation throughout the summer and preseason. Practices have been sharper and chemistry is improved. Taylor expects the defense to be sound, but the midfield must get better at controlling possession and some underclassmen up top will have to step up to help the Falcons get back into the playoffs.
