South Carolina positional previews: Defensive Line
With the addition of a few key players, this year's d-line is sure to generate a lot more favor amongst the fan base.
Who's gone?
Who's back?
Who's new?
Shameik Blackshear, Qua Lewis, Boosie Whitlow, Dexter Wideman, Dante Sawyer, Ulric Jones
Key Stat: 14
In South Carolina's 13 total games in 2014, the defense earned a mere 14 total sacks. A number bad enough to put them seventh worse in the nation last year amongst FBS teams, ranking 118 out of 125 (Utah led the nation with 55, averaging just over four a game). That number needs to grow significantly if the defense hopes to be feared as a force to be reckoned with in 2015.
