Breaking down Texas Tech's defensive line situation for the 2019 season.
Key returners: Joseph Wallace (junior), Broderick Washington Jr. (senior), Nick McCann (junior), Eli Howard (junior)
Key losses: Preston Gordan (graduation)
Newcomers: Gilbert Ibeneme (freshman)
Biggest unanswered question: Will the Red Raiders be able to slow down their opponents offensive productivity in 2019? Tech found itself in shootout situations, at times, last year. The Red Raiders need to step up on defense -- especially upfront.
Why 2019 production could be better: Tech returns talented defenders and added an exceptional player to its roster in Gilbert Ibeneme.
