A season riddled with sickness, player opt-outs and game cancellations came to an end. Now it is time to take a look back at how the Houston defense performed in 2020.
After examining the defensive backs season last time, the attention turns to the UH football defensive line.
Success in the pass rush
After remaining a solid force for an otherwise inconsistent UH football team, the defensive line finished as a NCAA top 20 team in total sacks, despite only playing eight games in the season.
The Cougars also finished among the top of the country in overall sack rate, providing crucial opportunities for the offense to take over on downs.
