Once toe meets leather and the Georgia Southern Eagles play N.C. State on Aug. 30, one of the more interesting storylines to follow will be who trots out there to play defensive line. The losses of seniors Blake Riley and Josh Gebhardt, and the transfer of Rafael Hardee, leave a lot of questions circling around the front four. The one sure thing — speed will have to make up for a decided lack of height and size, especially with the move from the FCS Southern Conference to the FBS Sun Belt and a 12-game schedule that includes 11 FBS teams.
