During the Jim Mora era at UCLA, the Bruins have consistently had one of the better defensive lines in the Pac-12. NFL draft picks Datone Jones, Cassius Marsh and Owamagbe Odighizuwa only paint part of the picture of how much the line has developed in the past three years. This upcoming season, the defensive front could be the best that Mora has employed, with experience, athleticism and NFL talent across the line.

In its pseudo 3-4 defense, UCLA is anchored by two junior, All-Pac 12 defensive tackles in Eddie Vanderdoes and Kenny Clark.
