Vanderbilt’s play at the line of scrimmage, on both sides of the ball, seems to have gotten much better entering Clark Lea’s third year. We talked about the offensive line earlier and at the very least, it’s not a problem area any more; it might even be good.
The defensive line is basically the same. Six of the twelve scholarship players on the defensive line have entered the program in the last couple of years, and so have four of the six scholarship players at the Star position (which we’ll talk about in a couple of days, separately from the defensive line.) Normally, I wouldn’t think it good that a big chunk of the defensive line are freshmen and sophomores, but remember, in this case…
