I'm old enough to remember that some of the best defenses LSU ever had were using the 3-4 scheme. Cholly Mac ran what we called a "50" defense where both OLB played on the LOS. The defensive scheme really depends on what the offense is doing. I prefer the 3-4 because it gives you the ability to better defend multiple offensive schemes.

David Reeves enters his third season as defensive coordinator and his fourth year overall at UAB.

In 2018, the Blazers finished ninth nationally in total defense and will go down in history as one of the best defensive units in UAB and Conference USA history.

Reeves’ extraordinary efforts resulted in him being named a semifinalist for the 2018 Broyles Award, which is annually given to the nation’s top assistant coach.

Under his guidance, the Blazers shattered the record book. Along with finishing ninth in total defense (299.2), UAB ranked top 10 nationally in five other statistical categories: second in third down defense (.260), fifth in fourth down defense (.318), fifth in sacks per game (3.43), seventh in scoring defense (17.0) and seventh in tackles for loss per game (7.9).

Additionally, UAB set the school record with 48 sacks and 111 tackles for loss. The Blazers also pitched three shutouts in 2018 which led the nation and they were the first team in Conference USA history to have three shutouts in one season (52-0 vs. Savannah State, 42-0 at Rice, 19-0 at UTEP).

In eight C-USA regular season games, the Blazers only allowed 88 total points, including just 38 total points in their first five games of league play.
