Pass Rush/Offensive Line Battle

I know we will likely not see many of the first-team offensive linemen going against the first-team defensive linemen.

Devontay Love-Taylor isn’t ready to play, and other players that would normally get reps will not be in action.

However, I’m curious to see what  the defensive pass rush looks like on Saturday. Georgia transfer Jermaine Johnson has been dominant, according to most observers. Will he continue to look that way in the spring game?

Will other players like Derrick McClendon, Quashon Fuller, and Josh Griffis make their presence felt?

The Noles need another pass rusher to emerge aside from Johnson. I’m also looking to see if the defensive tackles can collapse the pocket and get pressure up the middle.

The quarterbacks will not be LIVE(no tackling), but we should still get a sense of if the play would have gotten made if there’s pressure.

I’m interested to see the battle in the trenches will be when it comes to running the ball. Will the running backs find lanes, or will those be few and far between?
