Through the first four games, the FSU football defense has been less than stellar. Ranked 98th in defensive efficiency according to Bill Connelly’s SP+, there have not been a whole lot of bright spots on this year’s defense.
However, the defensive line, despite the woes of the rest of the defense, has been nothing short of elite so far this season. After an okay performance against Boise to open the season, the interior defensive line has balled out in every single game since the opener. The two biggest stars are inarguably junior Marvin Wilson and redshirt sophomore Corey Durden, who was both projected to have a dominating season.
