[QUOTE="Shadowrider, post: 3192904, member: 3099"] Well hindsight may have proven you correct and I agree with most of this. What I remember about that OU-USC game was Norm Chow and Leinart shredding BV's boringly predictable "prevent" defense. They made it look easy except they did have one receiver that if Leinart would have threw the ball to the opposite end of the field he'd still have caught it. ML didn't even have to look, just heave it up in the air somewhere, because that guy was gonna catch it. He was having one of those nights, I'll give them that. That OU trademark "prevent" defense. The question to me remains, was it mandated by Bob? Bob sure got conservative in his later years. When he left it seemed to continue on defense, so I'm thinking no. Mike didn't return to his early methodology of trying to kill every player on the opponent's squad. That's the defense I saw in Mike's 1st tour and he largely did it with Blake's players. During Mike's 1st tour, OU's defense looked like Clemson's did the other night. When he returned from AZ he pretty much picked up where BV left off and continued on with it. The question is why? Was he just not as good as BV? Was he told to run the exact schemes as BV? Possibly, but we'll never truly know. [/QUOTE]
