Here's a recap of the our preview of the Syracuse defense.
Defensive Line
Linebackers
Secondary
There's no question that this year's Syracuse football program will finish 7th in the county in national defense. The team lost talent and leadership along the defensive line and at linebacker.
However, there is talent on this side of the ball. Defensive ends Chandler Jones and Mikhail Marinovich are very, very good. SU has a talented middle linebacker in Marquis Spruill and dynamic safeties in Shamarko and Phillip Thomas. And since he showed up in Central New York, defensive coordinator Scott Shafer has been nothing short of brilliant.
Look for the defense to give up more yards and points this year, but also look for more sacks and turnovers to balance that out. This unit is good enough to get the Orange back to a bowl for a second straight year.
