Currently in his third season as the defensive coordinator, Joe has transitioned K-State’s defense from a 4-3 defense to a 3-3-5 defense over the past year and a half. Unit has grown into a Top 30 total defense and is in the Top 10 in multiple categories. K-State has held three Big 12 opponents without a touchdown this season – the first time this has happened since the 2001 season. Also has held every opponent this season below their season scoring average coming into the game.
