Fun fact: Mark Gottfried’s average AdjD rank in his six years at NC State was 128.3; Sidney Lowe’s was 128.4. Just once in the last 11 years has the Pack had a defense that ranked in the top 50, and that was in Lowe’s second to last season. There is a desperate need for a culture change at NC State, and it needs to start on the defensive end.
Georgia coach Mark Fox’s teams have ranked 46th or better in Kenneth Pomeroy’s AdjD rankings for three straight seasons, including a high of 22nd in 2015.
