[QUOTE="POKE1911, post: 3192974, member: 24536"] Yeah I see where you are coming from. I think the x-factor then is that it's less about Xs and Os and more about Jimmy and Joe's. Oklahoma is a program that can pull in the best of the best and compete for the best on an annual basis. So BV (and staff) must be much better at evaluating young talent and then is a rockstar recruiter when they lock in on a guy. Look back at the defenders back in those years and y'all had some studs. Down lineman that would pressure the QB without sending a blitz, CBs that would be okay on an island because they were the most physical people on the field. Now I am not blind to the fact that the game is evolving, rules are changing, everything is flowing to the offense. I also know that when you have an offense as dominate as OU, your defense will suffer due the volume of snaps and quick reps. When you score in 5 plays and 1:32, it doesn't leave a lot of time for your defense to catch its breath. All that said, I feel that Clemsons defense throughout the season looked like OUs used to both in schemes and players. Maybe Grinch can turn it around for you, I hope not ;)... [/QUOTE]
