A group that needs a lot of improvement lost its best player. How will things shake out for the defensive front?

The defensive trenches were not an area that the Cincinnati Bearcats excelled in during the 2015 season. The unit should be a focus for a reworked defensive staff, especially considering Robert Prunty, one of UC’s new co-defensive coordinators, has been coaching the defensive ends since 2013. That will make him intimately familiar with the personnel of the defensive line, which remains largely in tact for 2016.

Who’s Gone

Prunty and the Bearcats in general will certainly miss the services of defensive end Silverberry Mouhon.
