[QUOTE="Shadowrider, post: 1384808, member: 3099"] Thankyou! When little brother Mike was here, OU had a killer defense. It was a defense that went all out every play. The opposing QB knew they were coming EVERY PLAY. 3rd and short, in the red zone, in the 4th with little time left? Blitz the QB. Mike Stoops went straight at them every play. That's what we had, they actually won games for us. Now it seems that we play "prevent" all the time. As to the offense, it speaks volumes of the caliber of players we have when we get the yardage and points we do when almost every play is a pass straight at the sideline with an occasional change up of running straight at the sideline. I'll admit the last two games were a little better in this regard. The quality of players on both sides of the ball is what lets us win today. It isn't the play calling. The OC and DC are both great coaches. They know how to coach players, no question about it. But they are too conservative in their play calling. They would rather play statistical probabilities instead of taking any risk. Just my :twocents: [/QUOTE]
