Wondering why college football players seem to be worsening in tackling every year, especially UofL? Cuz the NCAA has said teams shouldn’t practice tackling as much as in the past. A few years ago the NCAA recommended removing tackling from one of the practices during preseason camp 2adays. Also, the four practices a week of tackling was reduced to 3 before the season, and during the season 1 day a week of tackling is recommended.
When you factor in the youth of our defense and how many true freshman are playing a lot of minutes plus the lack of practice throughout the year, it’s not surprising this team struggles to tackle.
