Last season, Arizona's rush ranked 99th in the NCAA giving up 180.9 rushing yards per game. When coach Jedd Fisch was looking for a new defensive coordinator, he talked about finding someone to create more turnovers an fix the run defense.

Well, since joining Arizona (2-2, 0-1 Pac-12), defensive coordinator Johnny Nansen has improved the defense in creating turnovers with six through four games this season, which matches the 2021 total.

However, the Wildcats' run defense has left much to be desired and has given up an average of 228.3 yards on the ground for a total of 913 rushing yards allowed.
