2015 West Virginia Football Season Review: The Defense - Part 1 - Season Stats

Tony Gibson entered the 2015 season with an experienced and senior laden defense, one that was predicted to be the best in the Big Twelve. If WVU was going to make a run at the title, the defense was going to lead the way.

The defense was led by All-American safety Karl Joseph.
