Carl Pelini New Head Coach at Florida Atlantic

Carl Pelini, defensive coach at the University of Nebraska has taken the head football coaching position at Florida Atlantic University. So instead of looking at Florida Atlantic over the last three seasons or so, let's take a look at how well Carl Pelini's defense has performed at the University of Nebraska over the last few seasons.

Surprising, Nebraska's defense has been declining relative to the rest of the football bowl subdivision teams over the last few years. In 2009, Nebraska's defense was #9 in the nation, but slipped to #24 in 2010 and when Nebraska entered the Big 10 their defense fell to #59 overall.
