The 2019 Baylor defense will return several starters from the previous year. If the Bears have any hope of contending for a chance to play in Arlington, the defense must play better. Below are a few questions that I believe need to be answered in 2019 if the defense wants to start an upward trend.
On the defensive line the Bears will need to replace a lot of production from 2018 with Ira Lewis, BJ Thompson and Greg Roberts now gone. Lewis was a three starter for Baylor, BJ Thompson was a bigger loss than what fans realize, and Greg Roberts was an underrated guy (not everyone can sack the #1 pick in the NFL Draft twice) that always seemed to get a good push.
