If there’s a weakness on the U’s roster this year, it may “possibly” be the defensive line. Don’t get things twisted, last season proved that four Canes in the trenches can handle any five lineman standing in front of them - either going for the sack/tackle or clogging up a hole to open another for linebackers. However, three starting DL’s left for the NFL Draft, and the most important thing for this defensive factor is to reload correctly. This is where Pat Bethel comes into play. He may not be the most recognized defensive lineman in the Hurricane roster returning for camp in August, but his development on defense and special teams may mean that we’ll be seeing this junior a bit more.
