With the move to a 3-4 defense, OLB becomes a very important position. Not that it wasn’t important in the old scheme, but the OLBs are the primary pass rushers in a 3-4 defense. Two of the top 3 career sack leaders for the Hoos were OLBs in Al Groh’s 3-4 defense (Clint Sintim and Darryl Blackstock in case you were wondering). The Hoos currently have just 5 scholarship OLBs on the roster, and that includes true freshman Matt Terrell. Those 5 players have a grand total of 5 tackles between them, and 4 of those are special teams tackles made by senior Malcolm Cook.
