Pitt’s losses on defense from 2016 are considerable. The sheer volume of departures is a product of the cyclical nature of college football rosters, where every few seasons, there will be a sizeable amount of turnover.
For Pitt, 2017 is that year. 11 players who started at least one game on defense last season are gone, taking most of the defensive production with them. Whether Pitt will experience addition by subtraction at some of those spots remains to be seen, but today Panther-Lair.com is looking at the top defensive stats and who could provide them in 2017.
