While many of the household names excelled under the high expectations, the Bulls also received breakout seasons from previously unproven players. Khalil Mack and Lee Skinner were the key cogs in the defensive backfield, and both return in 2012 with similarly high hopes.

Wearing a brace on his wrist, Neutz says he is healing nicely and happy to be back on the field.

As a sophomore, the Miami native rushed for a school-record 1,395 yards and 13 touchdowns as he evolved into the Bulls’ top offensive threat. However, Oliver is expecting even bigger things in 2012, so he focused on the mistakes he made so he can learn from them.
