“Our front four, we’re experienced, we should be the most dominant front four in the NCAA this year,” junior outside linebacker B.J. Ojulari said when speaking to the media earlier this month.


quote:

“I love our front and I love that they can generate pressure in four man, but there's certainly still times that you need to pressure,” House said. “If you become one-dimensional to the offense then you make it easy on them. The reality is, if you mix in enough pressure that helps your four man rush, it helps you get singles in the pass rush game.”

High expectations for the DL this year. I hope they live up to it and I hope last years performance is not indicative of what is to come this season because last years performance was more than inadequate.

From a physical/athletic standpoint every guy in the starting 4 (Smith, Ojulari, Gaye, Roy) has top 3 round potential (some with 1st round potential). Barring injury, there is no reason this group shouldn't be one of the best DLs in the country. Anything less would be somewhat of a disappointment.

Strongest position group on either side of the ball. WR close second

They can definitely generate the pressure. I hope they can also hold up against the run. Excited to see them wreaking havoc.

I know there were injuries and struggles early, but DL was actually very good down the stretch last season. They played out of their minds against Bama, Arkansas and A&M. None of the above could do shite running the ball for most of those games.

Every one of those has first round potential. Based on what I’ve seen so far I would guess their actual draft positions to be:

Smith - Top five selection
Roy - About the 20th player picked
Ojulari - Second Round
Gaye - Third round

I think it is:

WR - 1A
DL - 1B

Depth at WR is better than any other school in the nation.
