DL Drills – Temple University

By Mike Kcuhar

Ben Albert, OLB & DE Coach, Temple

In 2011, Temple University finished third in the country in scoring defense, surrendering a meager 13.9 points per game.  Only national champion Alabama and national runner-up LSU placed ahead of them.  The Owls also finished at the top of the Mid-American Conference in seven separate categories including rushing defense and total defense.

X&O Labs presents an exclusive drill series submitted by Ben Albert, the outside linebackers and defensive ends coach at Temple.  These videos illustrate all of the drills he uses to teach his players how to get off the ball and get to the quarterback.  These are the same drills that helped the Owls register 33 total sacks in 2011, which was a top-twenty finish in the country.
