So, football season is officially over for our Boilermakers.
The defense was ranked top 25 nationally when it comes to points allowed. Making huge strides under first year defensive coordinator Nick Holt.
While obviously, most of these players played under Ross Els last year, Els was just not able to get the most out of them that he could. Nick Holt did that, he brought in a stop the run first scheme which fit perfectly for a team that was loaded at linebacker.
He made adjustments to the defensive line that changed the look and ability of our front four right away.
