With the graduation of Teddy Ruben, Cyrus Hobbi, Brock Haman and others, the Sabercats were expected to take a step back, but instead have started the year 5-0. Running back D.J. Foster may be the most impactful player to put 0n a Saguaro jersey in the program’s impressive six-year run, but where does the team rank compared to years past?
