TULSA, Oklahoma -- Once again the line is the biggest question mark for Tulsa, this time on the defensive side of the ball. Wilson Garrison is the only returning starter up front for the Golden Hurricane. Garrison will make the switch full time to nose guard from defensive end. There is a battle raging behind him for the backup spot between three freshmen and a junior.

Despite missing most of the spring, senior Un’Tavious Scott has solidified himself as one of the starters at defensive end. Scott started four games last season and tallied just as many sacks. Odrick Ray is expected to start on the other side of Scott.

Most of the starters upfront have game experience; however the backups are mostly green. If pressed, depth could be a huge issue for this unit.
