The new season begins in two weeks for the Augustana College football team, and coach Steve Bell is looking forward to a better year. The Vikings finished with a record of 4 and 6 a year ago, during his first season in Rock Island.
Bell says one of the keys for this season is finding a replacement for quarterback Sam Frasco - last year's conference offensive player of the year. Two sophomores are competing for the job.
But he's happy there are many returning players on defense.
