AW took over the defense prior to the Arizona game and here is how the defense performed:
Game 1: Arizona: Held them to 251 total yds...got 1 turnover...held offense to 2 TDs (special teams had 1 missed PAT and one missed 2 pat conversion). Was helped by 600 plus yd performance by UCF offense that scored more than 50 pts. PFF 72.7
Game 2: Arizona State: Held a very good ASU to 21 offensive pts (ASU also scored on block punt and INT return). ASU had only 260 total yds but no turnovers. PFF 67.7
Game 3: West Virginia: Gave up 31 pts but only 318 total yds. No turnovers. PFF 73.3
Game 4: Utah: Held them to 14 offensive pts (Utah defense scored on 2 INT returns). Held Utah to 196 total yards No turnovers. (Don't think PFF has been posted)
While only ASU was a ranked team...there were some obvious different schemes AW used that Roof did not.
AW is known as a Top 2-3 recruiter on the staff (hence why he was kept on after he was demoted after last season) so it would be interesting to see what the next HC will do in regards to keeping AW on staff.
Would AW stay if he was a DB Coach again?
Would the new HC want him as a DC?
What say you...did AW do enough to earn a spot on the 2025 staff and what other coaches would you like to stay? (Even knowing most new HCs clean house...maybe leaving 1 or 2 coaches in place).
