The West Virginia defensive line is going to have a new strategy this season under new defensive coordinator Vic Koenning. The Mountaineer defense will keep three men on the front line, but the WVU defensive linemen will have more opportunities to make plays and play an aggressive style under Koenning’s direction. This strategic change will hopefully spark excitement and bring more big plays for the Mountaineers of the defensive side.
Koenning’s defensive line consists of three positions, which are nose tackle, strong side defensive end, and weak side defensive end. While the game plan will be different for the defensive front, the Mountaineers on the line will be familiar names and faces.
