Don Brown happy with effort of Arizona’s run defense, despite poor results

The Arizona Wildcats are coming off a game in which they allowed 329 rushing yards, the most this season, and now face a Colorado team that ran for 409 of them in Tucson last December.

That should be a huge cause for concern, yet Arizona defensive coordinator Don Brown remains committed to the scheme and approach he’s implemented.

“Schematically, we throw a lot at the guys,” Brown said Tuesday. “And we’re still making some critical errors. The missed tackle piece occurs. A converge piece doesn’t always occur. And that’s what we’re trying to get to, making sure that we’re getting everybody playing at a fast level.
