The defensive line will look to bounce back after giving up 471 yards to a 1-5 North Putnam team. JR Duncan White leads the defensive line up front with 20 tackles, 8.0 TFL, 3 sacks and 1 forced fumble. They will need to plug holes and use their speed to contain the Patriots offense which averages over 254 yards per game. The linebacking group will look to anchor the 2nd level defense. SR Jacob Potts and SR Brayden Cartmel have combined for 77 tackles. FR Lucas Farmer is coming off his best game of his high school career where he came up with 20 tackles, 1 forced fumble, 1 fumble recovery and 1 defensive touchdown.
