The Louisville Defensive Line combined for 18 of Louisville’s 83 tackles for loss and sacks last season. While the scheme is built around the guys up front causing havoc, you would imagine they would just luck into a few more impact plays than just 18. The improved depth and addition of some speed and skill have Mark Ivey very excited for the upcoming season.
Tabarius Peterson leads a versatile group of Defensive Ends as a veteran presence among a group of young players. Peterson has been a consistent player on the edge for Louisville but he is facing more pressure now with guys like Ramon Puryear and Ashton Gillotte forcing their way onto the field.
