I think it’s far to say that Utah may be Dline-U with the amount of success they’ve had over the last 25 years, and it’s really seemingly picked up over the last handful of seasons. Everyone around the west has known about Utah’s defensive line prowess, and it’s been talked about a bit around the country, but one prominent writer is given Utah’s defensive line some due.
Just finished ranking the defensive lines. Three of the top 5 DLines this year are Michigan State, Utah and Auburn.
