Defense will be greatly improved IMO.
Maggitt and Vereen will be good at DE with Barnett and Hendrix as backups.
O' Brian, Williams, Williams, and Saulsberry will be good at DT.
LB will be a strength with AJ, JRM, and Bates.
DB will be improved with Sutton and Randolph returning and us adding Moseley and TK (by first game) to the starting lineup.
All IMO. We will have some moments where our youth shows, but our speed will be greatly improved.
Team defense is a whole lot faster than last year. I can't tell you how many times our defensive players were slow in the pursuit to tackle. AJ is a whole lot faster, Maggitt is back, and the secondary is a whole lot faster with
Moseley, Sutton, Randolph, and Swafford. Worley commented on the difference in the speed of the secondary after the scrimmage; said it was a much quicker secondary compared to last year
