Defense learning quickly under new coaching staff

By Noah Torr | Broadcast Reporter

For Baylor football, defense has become a serious focal point for head coach Matt Rhule.

At Rhule’s previous coaching stop, Temple University, defense was an issue in the first season as well. Phil Snow, Baylor’s defensive coordinator, was also at Temple with Rhule and came under scrutiny because of his defense’s poor play.

Rhule said during his first year at Temple, many wanted Snow fired, but by the end of season two, he was asking for money to keep Snow.

“I think we have a lot of good players,” Rhule said before the season started.
