In the third of our 2015 GNAC Football Video Previews, we feature Western Oregon.

The Wolves, picked third in the GNAC preseason poll, were among the teams in a 2014 second place logjam that saw three squads finish with a 4-2 record. The Wolves finished 2014 as the second best passing team in the GNAC, averaging 309.5 yards per game (15th in Division II) behind Second Team All-GNAC quarterback Ryan Bergman. WOU will be replacing Bergman and three-time First Team All-GNAC receiver Tyrell Williams, but do return the GNAC Co-Freshman of the Year in receiver Paul Revis, who ranked seventh in Division II in all-purpose yards as a freshman at 184.45 yards per game.

The Wolves also return a pair of talented Second Team All-GNAC performers in defensive lineman George Swartzlender and defensive back Roger Garrett.

This is the fourth of seven football preseason videos that the GNAC will release leading up to the season opener between Azusa Pacific and West Texas A&M on Thurs., Sept. 3. All of the videos will be posted on the GNAC YouTube Page.
