If you are a casual follower of Air Force football, and you are researching into how much experience the Falcons are returning on the defensive line, you might be misled into thinking that the D line would be a problem. The starters at the beginning of the year were George Silvanic, Joey Woodring, and Michael Purcell. All of these players were seniors and will be graduating soon. Woodring was injured for the last three games, and Kalawai’a Pescaia moved into the nose guard position as a sophomore and started the last three games, accumulating some amount of experience. Purcell missed the final game and the Falcons brought in a committee of players that included freshman Jayden Thiergood, junior McKenly O’Neal, and junior Brandon Gooding to fill his defensive end position.
