It is a fiction that our D has played well until today.
SMU literally has the worst offense in FBS and ran all over us in the first half
Ohio State scored twice as much against us what they did against Purdue today
Purdue must REALLY have a genius coaching D!
At one point in the 3rd quarter, OU was *averaging* 8.5 yards per play on offense. And it seemed to be worse than that.
Army stopped it... Not enough to win, but keep it respectable.Our defense came into the game today #1 in the Big 12 and #12 nationally according to FPI, S&P and FEI. Just happened to play the offense that to date has better numbers than their offense last year. Not many teams can stop it. Too much to account for and no weaknesses.
Ohio State got 14 points off turnovers on us.
OU had 8 possessions the entire game and scored on their first 3 drives. They had 6 in the first half against TCU today. OU didn't practice against the triple option until the week of the game. I'm not sure if you were around when TCU played Air Force but we have seen how difficult that can be if you don't work on it more than a week.Army stopped it...

So what you're saying is Cumbie needs to learn, coach, and implement the triple option?OU had 8 possessions the entire game and scored on their first 3 drives.

The real mess today was on defense. Tackling? Play calling--constant cutback plays we aren't ready for?
Oh, it's the players' fault. They aren't executing. They need to grow up.
Well, who teaches them to execute? Who is paid countless millions to deliver wins, not record-breaking losses?
Steel can't imagine this kind of on-field product under a good young coach like the one from University of North Texas.
Is recruiting speed over size hurting us?
I’m not sure why it has to be either or, other schools seem to get both, and especially in the secondary.
Trash team having a trash season. Hope someone gets the boot as a result. Maybe Cumbie.
The schools getting a lot of both are named Alabama, Clemson, OU, OSU, LSU, Georgia..... and I think we have it in the secondary. They’re just all freshman.
