Preseason edit
During the off season, War Memorial Stadium was upgraded with new railings installed in certain areas as well as more handicap accessible.[1]
The big concern coming into Spring Training was the lack of depth on defense, a young and inexperienced offensive line and a poor running game. 13 Starters and 38 lettermen returned.[2]
Fall practice began on August 11, 2004.[3] The Cowboys participated in two inter squad scrimmages. The first one was held August 21 and the second one was 5 days later on the 26th.[4]
Players edit
Quarterbacks edit
Corey Bramlet replaced his older brother, Casey, who graduated the previous season.
