nKimdiche was moved from DE to tackle? What'd he do, eat too much?

I honestly think this is potentially UF's weakness this year on defense. There's a lot of unknown there and I think they are a bit too high for a preseason list.
Bullard and Fowler have all types of talent, but have to put it together. They are the big play guys on that line now and have to show it consistently. Leon Orr and Darius Cummings are the two starters at DT, and both played OK last year.
Outside of that, there isn't much that anyone knows for sure. Bryan Cox Jr. has apparently made the jump this year where the coaches expect him to have a great season at DE when he has a chance to play. Joey Ivie has been spoke of as being a consistent DT, but he is a bit undersized. Unfortunately, UF has NOT heard enough good things about Jaynard Bostwick or Caleb Brantley, despite their talent, and UF needs at least one of the those players to step up and make an impact this season.
So yeah, I would rank them lower. Because there are so many other good DL's in the conference.
Stats of returners on UF's DL from last year:
Jonathan Bullard - 33 tackles, 2.5 TFL, 1.5 sacks, 4 QBH
Leon Orr - 21 tackles, 4.5 TFL, 2.5 sacks,
Darious Cummings - 15 tackles, 3 TFL, 1 sack, 1 INT, 1 FF, 1 PBU, 2 QBH
Dante Fowler Jr. - 50 tackles, 10.5 TFL, 3.5 sacks, 3 FF, 1 PBU, 6 QBH
Back ups that accrued stats in 2013:
Bryan Cox Jr. - 5 tackles, 2 sacks, 2 TFL
Joey Ivie - 3 tackles
Alex McCalister - 3 tackles
So bottom line, UF has some OK starters, but they are relying big time on guys to step up that haven't seen much of the field yet if they are going to have any depth whatsoever.

You would say that.
And why do you feel this way?

He's just better inside than outside. He's not a pass rusher, but more of a bull rusher who can play a three technique. He played DT against GA Tech and was absolutely dominant off of the line and really disrupted their run game, especially in the second half.
