Last season, the Bruin defense left a lot to be desired. If you believe Chip Kelly, a lot of the team’s performance last season was due to the team’s youth. If there was a position group where that could be seen the most, it might have been on the defensive line. There wasn’t a single senior among the defensive linemen last season.
While the defensive linemen all worked hard and gained a lot of experience last season, there still isn’t a single senior in the group.
Part of that has to do with the fact that the two guys who would have been seniors this season have left the program.
