Deservedly so.
Anae and Fotu are the big names but Penisini is an absolute monster as well. In fact, he was graded 2nd in the PAC12 for interior lineman by PFF. Tupai, Tafua, Falemaka, Tonga and Pututao are all very good as well. The starters are incredible and the second/third string are all very talented and capable.
This is going to be a monster unit this season. I hope that the secondary can give the DL time to wreak havoc and the DL can force some bad/hurried passes for the secondary to pick. I have some concern at our LB depth, but I feel comfortable with Bowen/Bernard starting.
There is a distinct possibility that we will be seeing the best defense Utah has ever fielded this coming season, and that is saying something.
