Nate Woody focuses on creating turnovers for UC Bearcats defense

Nate Woody, the newly appointed defensive coordinator for the Cincinnati Bearcats, aims to enhance the team's turnover rate. At a recent event, he and head coach Scott Satterfield highlighted a shift from last year's 3-3-5 scheme to a more aggressive approach with more frequent quarterback pressures. In 2025, the Bearcats registered 23 sacks, and Satterfield referenced a successful defensive strategy used at Louisville that led the nation with 50 sacks. Woody's previous experience includes coaching defenses that achieved significant turnover numbers during his tenure at Appalachian State and Army.
