October 8, 20223 yr Not sure he adjusted well, versus OU mentally quitting. We are going to see that again this season from a team that can run and pass. Need to do much better
October 8, 20223 yr Kind of glad OU caught the defense unprepared for some Wildcat looks. Texas will see some more running QBs, who will do similar things in the normal offense. OU exposed some weakness on the edges, that forced Texas to adjust. Another excellent game from the interior DL.

Need to do much better Oh please. We shut that shit down at the half. OU tried 10 different ways to run it before abandoning it and had nothing else to go to. Give the guy some credit, he seems to be the guy we all thought he was when he was hired. And our players are improving week to week. Our defense is looking solid.

October 8, 20223 yr I’ll take any progress from this defense I can get. But today is a day to just celebrate!

October 8, 20223 yr Some of you guys and your confirmation bias are insane. The reality is, outside of 4th down individual failures on the road at Tech, this defense has been solid all season. We did what we should have done to OU given their QB situation. This defense is actually getting better too. Big tests will be in Stillwater and in Lawrence if Daniels is playing. I think our guys will be ready. TCU looks salty right now as well, thankfully we get them in Austin and that's a GP revenge game.

Another excellent game from the interior DL. If we had one great edge or two just average edge players our defense would be pretty legit, if we ever get a LB or Safety who can be a leader and set the tone our defense will be filthy. This fire PK noise should quiet down now, I hope, after seeing improvement week to week while still having holes in the roster.
October 8, 20223 yr .39 Watsons of offense in a half is pretty putrid. Think the chef’s kiss was a 4th Q by Mims not be spotted on a post route (in the wildcat) Good job D!

Sure appears our staff adjusted to the wildcat I’m sure most competent staffs can sit down for 20 minutes during halftime and cobble together the basic strategies required to shut down a wildcat offense with no ability to complete a forward pass. We didn’t look like we anticipated wildcat well which is pretty interesting given that we featured it ourselves when QE went down, and it took us 2 quarters to decide that playing 2 high coverage and honest fronts against it was stupid. We shut it down once it was decide that their RB’s weren’t in fact going to slice and dice our secondary through the air.

I sat in the stadium after the first series where they shifted 11 out wide and wondered why in the hell we were still in 2 high shell with three man line. I was ten beers in and knew that was the wrong call. I think they overthink things sometimes.

I actually don’t fault him much for that. We see it all of the time when a semi-competent back up QB enters the game and the DC doesn’t have a cheat sheet for tendencies and strengths/weaknesses. I wasn’t impressed that the concept surprised us for two quarters. But that’s a nit for another day much like us not being ready for a team to attempt a fourth down conversion against us even if they were all tricky and didn’t do it out of a conventional offensive formation (fake FG).

October 9, 20223 yr I shat on PK quite a bit. Here to come and give him his props. Outside of the tech half, this defense has played very well. Hell even in the times we looked back, we were constantly getting teams into 4th down but could make the big stops. Seems that now they are finding their groove in this system and trusting their coaching. The dude clearly has a long record of success and putting players in the league. Hoping he does the same here and is getting comfortable within this conference, his position coaches, and his players. We held Bryce Young and Bama to 20 points. When was the last time a defense did that?

Yeah, I’d say getting surprised by the wildcat/playing it with light boxes in 2 high was pretty bad, considering we knew their QB couldn’t pass to save his life. But at least we adjusted at half. We haven’t faced many good offenses and I think we have some personnel and scheme weaknesses that will be exploited in the second half of our schedule, but there’s no doubt our D has taken a big step forward this year.

Agree with this. I still don't really trust PK against a good offense with some playmakers - I think he will get roasted. But maybe this is the redemption year. Sark's offense fucks, particularly when he has a real qb that that knows all the Madden button combos. Maybe PK turns it around and becomes the DC many thought he would and prove doubters like me wrong. I would actually love for that to happen.

I think pk is getting better but I think having maybe the best defensive coach in the meeting room during the week is going to be helpful to anyone. There was a lot of shit to clear out off this team but it just looks like a different philosophy on that side of the ball this year. Good on pk for implementing that regardless of the source.
October 9, 20223 yr OU was exploiting our edges and LBs with counters and sweeps but didn’t stick with it. They were stupid.

October 9, 20223 yr You guys seem pretty certain that PK called the field goal unit out on the field, is responsible for their preparation, and called the play resulting in the conversion. I assume one of you can provide a link showing as much?
October 9, 20223 yr Popular Post PK shut out OU and held them under 200 yards of offense and 11 first downs. That's a good game vs a directional school and he just did it against OU.
October 9, 20223 yr 31 minutes ago, Jkwellborn said: Being unprepared for the fake fg pissed me off to no end. Not a pk issue since Banks runs special teams. Jamison likely blew his assignment on that one. He is not on the edge of fg defense to ignore a receiving threat that heads to the flat in front of his face. But, that is exactly what he did. Fortunately, dmo made up for it by beating his blocker. OU put the QB way out wide on those running packages. PK is overly conservative, so he leaned towards respecting OUs ability to shift the QB to the backfield if he overplayed the run. It would be great if PK took a more aggressive mentality. The players would feed on that mentality too. I feel like we have had a major breakthrough for PK to allow the DTs to actually attack the LOS this season. Edited October 9, 20223 yr by pacman

Well when you get down 28-0 you aren’t wildcating your way back into the game. They beat us on a few sweeps but we stuffed a few in a row in the second half and they stopped trying. Not sure how many counters they tried but 3.7 yards a carry allowed is not too bad at all.

But our margin is razor thin. Probably enough to keep us from reaching our goal this year unless our offense plays out of its mind during a few critical games.
