Earlier this week, Syracuse fired football defensive coordinator Brian Ward. Ward has been defensive coordinator at Syracuse since 2016. Here is a
look at the Syracuse Orangemen defense during this time period using the Complex Invasion College Football Production Model from the data provided from www.cfbstats.com.
As you can see above, the Syracuse Orangemen have been below average
on defense in the Football Bowl Subdivision for all four season under Ward. Currently, Syracuse is ranked #110 out of #130 in defense in all of the FBS.
