Is there a worse defense in the FBS than Tulane?

Taking out the win against 0-7 Morgan State (arguably the worst team in the FCS), Tulane is allowing an average of 46 ppg and 538 ypg.
They have forced only 4 turnovers (1 fumble, 3 INTs) against the FBS and opponents are 14-18 on 4th down (.777). Tulane is also one of the worst 3rd down defenses allowing opponents to convert almost half the time (.440)
Adding in the Morgan State game the Wave still ranks at or near the bottom in every defensive category:
117th Red Zone defense (.917)
126th Opponent first downs (178)
127th Passing yards allowed (300 ypg)
108th Rushing Defense (194 ypg)
Shitty football is nothing new for Tulane but going into this season I was not expecting one of the worst defenses in college football history

yes, Missouri defense
It's a pathetic defense, you could run the same play over and over, and over, and they would refuse to make adjustments.
They are giving up 201 yards passing(why pass, when run works all the time), and 287 rushing per game. Almost 500 yards a game.

They picked off Spencer Rattler 2 times. I guess that should have been a sign Rattler was going to have a bad season if he’s committing multiple turnovers against Tulane.

Yeah at the time it was interpreted as Tulane was good. That was a mistake.

This is the worst Tulane team I’ve ever seen.
Not counting the ‘win’ against Morgan State (which doesn’t really count), this team will go 0-11.
I’ve seen a lot of really bad Tulane teams, but this one is taking bad to new levels.
Forget the losses to Oklahoma, SMU, Cincy (upcoming)- they’ve looked pitiful/just as bad against shite teams like UAB and ECU.
Its 100% on the coaches. They need to blow it up and start over.

You must be like 10. Bob Toledo had two straight teams that gave up twice as many points as they scored.

I nominate LSU at least for the discussion. Our defensive coordinator freezes once the other team makes an adjustment.
