In the same way the Cincinnati Bearcats have a bit of a drought at linebacker, they’ve got a glut on the defensive line, especially at defensive end. For a team that has ranked near the bottom of the American Athletic Conference in sacks in each of the last two seasons, having depth and experience could either be a good thing or a bad one. On one hand, there is plenty of returning talent, but its still the same talent that accumulated only 19 sacks a year ago. The hope is that under new leadership in defensive coordinator Marcus Freeman, defensive line coach Al Washington and head coach Luke Fickell, this group will come together and begin pressing the buttons of opposing offensive lines.
