Exclamation Conference USA Preseason Position Previews: Defensive Line
http://www.underdogdynasty.com/2017/6/6/...n-utsa-wku

14. UAB: The Blazers will field a defensive line that is littered with former JUCO players. Some are former three-star recruits but the spring game was worrisome. The line looked small and was pushed around for the majority of the game. Using a glorified scrimmage to judge a unit is a fool’s errand but that’s all we have right now.


The basis for practically all of their evals...

To be fair, there really isn't much else to go on right now.

True, but a peek at the current roster would probably be helpful to the writer...

I think Rush has the potential to be the best DT in CUSA on day one

True but he didnt make many plays in the spring ,but he some what maintained gap control. He was good on junior college level this level gets him a shot at the NFL if he plays well.

We have a former Illinois DT whos been injured alot
A former Arizona St signee
A former Temple signee
And walkon WKU DT

You can almost tell nothing about a team when they are practicing against themselves. No matter how you split the roster. I'm just glad to hear the defense having the edge in a lot of practices. During our dark era, you almost never heard about the defense having the upper hand. Now it seems we have a decent balance of talent on both sides of the ball. D-line included.

Im glad to hear that as well. A good defense can keep us in a game while the offense adjusts to things. I have no doubt Clark will get things going in the right direction, it's just a matter of how long that takes. We took a lot of hits on the talent front in the past year, but it appears we still have a lot of good pieces in place. Knowing that the offense can turn the ball over and it not automatically count as six for the other team is a big deal.

I also understand each and every one of these ratings we are receiving. I almost wish every publication would have just put N/A and a little blurb about our pieces instead of ranking us though. If you automatically put us 14th everywhere, it is purely due to the unknown factor, which is trash research.

I like our D and it should get stronger as the season wears on barring injuries. I still want to see who we bring in and add to this roster with and want to see some of fall camp before I venture a real guess to how we will be overall.
