Yesterday we looked at the offensive side, and now it’s time to break down the defensive performance so far this season. This includes all games played (which obviously at this point is just one).
5. Defensive End (Previously: 4)
Triston Grant had the most solo tackles of any defensive end Thursday night, and he isn’t even on the depth chart.
The defensive ends got little pressure on Tulsa’s inexperienced quarterbacks and flushed them out of the pocket time after time, which, while it wasn’t exclusively their fault, led to a few conversions on third and long.
