Sport Scene’s Outlook: Many questions to answer as the Invaders prepare for the season. The most important of which is can head coach Jim Stanley avoid a quarterback controversy after the teams' acquisition of veteran pivot Ed Luther from Jacksonville. If so, the Invaders are well positioned for a playoff run.
1988 Prediction: 8-8 3rd Place
