Nine down, three* to go as we are three-fourths of the way through the season. How did the units grade out against the Terrapins? Let us know how you feel about the defensive performance with our poll and in the comments below.
We break down the defensive performance at each of the three levels organized by alignment, assignment, and technique. The players listed in each group are in order of how noticeable they were to me, but potentially not every player who saw action.
Defensive Line: B (Wilkins, Turay, Turner, Joseph-Day, Bateky, Nash, Lumor, Previlon, Hogan, Davis)
Alignment: Rutgers played mostly 40 fronts with an occasional 30 in passing downs.
