The Miami Hurricanes defense enters the 2017 season riding high after excelling on that side of the ball last year. Miami’s defense took a huge jump in major statistical categories. The Hurricanes finished the season with 108 tackles for loss and 38 sacks. The previous season saw Miami register just 66 tackles for loss and 26 sacks. The improvement can be credited to the front seven and the new Philosophy inspired by Cane’s Defensive Line Coach, Craig Kuligowski. Coach Kool, has installed a new sense of passion, attitude and aggressiveness that exemplifies the defensive line slogan “Let's met at the quarterback”.
