The Penn State defense featured one of the most fearsome duos in recent memory last season. Adisa Isaac and Chop Robinson terrorized quarterbacks and shut down passing games in the Big Ten for most of the year. But quietly, there was another wave of pass rushers behind them doing impressive things. In our series this offseason, we've been looking at one area where each position can get better this offseason and one returning strength. Today, we look at the defensive ends. Can Dani Dennis-Sutton and the company maintain that level of dominance? The data we're about to examine gives a resounding yes.
