Defensive Line and Linebackers

One area that fans are not worried about is the front seven. The group was very deep last year, but their even deeper this year with Monty Rice already on campus, and Robert Beal and others set to join in the fall.

A lot of players will be used throughout ball games in the front seven much like at tight end. So just because someone is second string, it doesn’t mean they’ll be riding the pine (aluminum?) for most of the game.
