Greenville Notes The Panthers come into the 2011 season with many new faces on offense. The team returns 5 starters from an offense that averaged over 30 points and 300 yards rushing per game in 2010. The Panthers must replace 3 UMAC Players of the Year. The Greenville College defense has high expectations after a successful 2010 season.

All three of these seniors left big shoes to fill.
