After 9 games, this UofL is 115th out of 130 teams in FBS schools. VanGorder and likely all of the D position coaches have to turn over after this season. And when it breaks down to rushing defense, UofL is...(wait for it)....128th out of 130 teams. Only Bowling Green from the MAC and UConn from the AAC are worse. And that is THE problem on defense. The passing defense is actually pretty good, ranking 23rd in the nation out of 130 teams. So, yes, that is how bad run defense is for UofL. Why even pass at all, when every opposing OC out there knows they can just run right over, through, around, whatever over the defense.
Most of the those runs are clean, meaning that the players are not even in a position to make a play or tackle. And that is 100% on VanGorder, Scott and Beard as coaches. They absolutely have to go.
