Is it correct that they run a 3-4 defense also?

The Red Wolves suffered personnel losses at every level after holding Sun Belt opponents to 15.3 points per game in 2016, but they expect another strong unit, especially in the front seven.
Senior end Ja’Von Rolland-Jones, the league’s most feared pass rusher, is back after earning Sun Belt Player of the Year honors with 13.5 sacks last season. Senior tackle Dee Liner, a part-time starter last year after transferring from Alabama, will anchor the interior. The Red Wolves should have sufficient depth across the front, particularly at end.
Senior linebacker Kyle Wilson carved out a role after transferring from junior college, recording 15.5 tackles for a loss, and is expected to lead the unit. Junior Justin Clifton could start at nickel, where he spent 2016, or another safety position. Senior Blaise Taylor is steady at cornerback, but the Red Wolves are counting on junior college transfers at safety. Jefferie Gibson and Darreon Jackson, who began their careers at Clemson and Boise State, respectively, are among the newcomers.
I expect Dee Liner to try to play vs us, we'll see how recovered he is from the groin pull.
Didn't realize their DE was POY.
They lost a really good LB, but it sounds like they still have a couple good ones. It'll be interesting to see how we run the ball at them.
Sounds like their secondary could be decent.
