Oklahoma ain't going nowhere though, nor is TCU.<br /><br />Baylor's all in as well. They can't replace Briles but they aren't going to end up with another Kevin Steele, either. Pretty sure it was intentional on their part to leak out that they offered Herman $6 per year to draw in other candidates.iain_boydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05562256909619447094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7042465670825243265.post-74650217967275350692016-07-15T16:41:06.374-07:002016-07-15T16:41:06.374-07:00Ian:

Texas looks pretty stout going forward, as long as they keep signing plus guys at QB each year. Don't laugh, it might happen.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02487857003284747813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7042465670825243265.post-63686948248731799802016-07-13T07:09:22.025-07:002016-07-13T07:09:22.025-07:00"Im just curious if you are aware you said on..."Im just curious if you are aware you said one of the reasons you were worried about OUs defense was replacing Charles Tapper and then you put the guy that will replace him, Charles Walker, on the all Big 12 Defensive Team.

Texas handled him though by blitzing and trusting their rushers to track him.<br /><br />Probably Mayfield will torch most of the league but there are ways to get after him. I do think it's dangerous to assume their protection won't be a lot better though.iain_boydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05562256909619447094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7042465670825243265.post-91104452910539376902016-07-12T19:25:36.177-07:002016-07-12T19:25:36.177-07:00No outrage from this Sooner fan.

The Frogs have only 4 true road games (WV, KU, Baylor, and UT) and catch OU in Ft Worth after the Sooners have Ohio St, Houston, and just before UT. <br /><br />OU's recruited well for DL and LB. Now they have to show it. There are several good choices for boundary corner for the Sooners. The book on Mayfield is allow him time in the pocket because he's not tall enough to see out of it anyway. Prevent the scramble as much as possible.quigleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07585516373077693748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7042465670825243265.post-20492992355197314972016-07-12T15:26:44.434-07:002016-07-12T15:26:44.434-07:00From the sounds of it, not only is WV having to st...From the sounds of it, not only is WV having to start over with almost the entire defensive backfield (which is very tough in the B12) but they lack man coverage defenders.<br /><br />When you're replacing most of you defense, including the pieces that made it work, you can see a steep drop off.<br /><br />They probably won't be as bad as Tech last year but they also won't be as good as Tech was on O.iain_boydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05562256909619447094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7042465670825243265.post-45092804924544500422016-07-12T14:54:36.233-07:002016-07-12T14:54:36.233-07:00What's the justification for WVU being atrocio...What's the justification for WVU being atrocious on defense? They lose a lot of talent and experience, but the two deep is stocked with upperclassmen who have been in the system for years. It includes a 3 starters who were four star recruits in Henry, Douglas, and Howard. WVU's (arguably) best recruits last year, Ferns and White, are also guys who are on the defensive side of the ball. <br /><br />I have no doubt that there is going to be a drop off from last year, but I think you are overstating the effect. <br /><br />Notably, you have Texas Tech's defense as "not being atrocious." Tech was 121 S&P defense last year and WVU was 28. You really think there's going to be that large of a swing?<br /><br />Thanks for the write up. Feels like an eternity until September 3rd and it is nice to have a reason to talk football.
