Preview of Pitt's Defense and Special Teams This Year and Beyond

DEFENSIVE LINE: In recent years, the Panthers have had some excellent players, like superstar Aaron Donald, and Ejuan Price, but overall there was a lot of mediocrity in this unit. Coming into this season, there are no lineman that has reached, or even approached, the level of Donald and Price yet, but for the first time in years the unit has more than a few players with a big upside, especially at tackle. The downside is that they're all very inexperienced.

At end, the starters will be 6'4" 260 pound redshirt junior Dewayne Hendrix, and 6'4" 255 pound redshirt senior Allen Edwards.
