Brady Hoke has been all across the country Tyler Shough Jersey, putting his magic touch on lackluster defenses. Hoke has a knack for fielding teams that are strong at the point of attack and are known for fundamentally sound tackling. As Hoke takes over as Oregon new defensive coordinator for the demoted Don Pellum, Oregon fans hope for a better defensive output from a team who ranked 5th in the nation in scoring but a dismal 117th in points allowed. Hoke brings change to an Oregon defense that has struggled to make plays throughout the 2015 season. One key element to watch in the upcoming games is how well Oregon front seven adapt to Hoke 4-3 scheme, a transition from the 3-4 set used in 2015. The defensive line will be a big question mark this season with the loss of Pac-12 defensive player of the year DeForest Buckner and defensive tackle Alex Balducci. "I believe that's where the game is played," Hoke said. "By trade I've been a defensive line coach. How we play up front, that definitely will determine how we play as a defense." Local product Henry Mondeaux was the lone underclassman in the defensive line starting rotation in 2015. His leadership will be something to watch as Oregon will be forced to depend on multiple budding yet unproven defensive linemen Matt Mariota Jersey.
