BTN: Ranking Defensive Line Units in Big Ten West (#2: Minnesota)

[BleedGopher]

per BTN:

2. Minnesota. Underrated line coach Jeff Phelps will build his front around fireplug tackle Steve Richardson, a freshman sensation in 2014, and lithe end Theiren Cockran, one of the league’s better pass rushers. There are some good options for the other spots, including the Ekpe brothers—tackle Scott and end Hendrick. Andrew Stelter will get a shot next to Richardson at tackle on a line that has good depth.

Defensive end was a big weakness for us last year.

 

[Oregon Gopher]

Defensive end was a big weakness for us last year.

From a pass rushing standpoint I'd agree that they underperformed; however, from rushing standpoint I thought they did a pretty good job of setting the edge in most games and keeping containment
