FIU Football: 2020 Preview - Defensive Line

With under two months till the season opener against Jacksonville State, let’s continue our position-by-position look at the Panthers as they head into the abbreviated fall camp.

Today, we’ll look at the defensive line.

For better or worse, last season saw the defensive line’s struggles to pressure the quarterback and defend the run continue from the 2018 campaign.

During the Panthers’ Bahamas Bowl season two years ago, they finished 12th in Conference USA in rushing yards allowed per game (192.6) and ninth in sacks (22) with only 19 coming from the defensive line.

Those numbers dipped even further last season, as FIU allowed 198.
