I don’t mean to paint a picture of doom and gloom; as USC has proven many times, good old fashioned talent and hard work can easily overcome lack of experience. Besides that, Chip Kelly and D-Line Coach Jerry Azzinaro are going to be scheming up answers for all of the question marks us fans tend to worry about, and will likely utilize their great linebacking core to help patch some holes.

Much like the offensive line, there is little doubt in my mind that with some mixing and matching, trial and error, and valuable game experience, Chip Kelly will have himself a very capable line by the time the second half of the season rolls around.

But will it be too late by then? That all depends on how quickly this unit can learn under fire.

Me thinks our D-Line will be the weakest part of our team. We had some key losses, a lack of depth, and Nick Aliotti. Hopefully our LB depth will be able to pick up the slack. I will be very surprised if our D-Line somehow shocks BSU.

I think out D-Tackles will be very average and our D-Ends will be above average as a group. I don't expect us to win games cause our D-Line is dominant. I expect us to win games cause we score a ton of points and our guys cause key turnovers.

For what it is worth, Chip Kelly thinks the d-line is going to surprise some people this year.
