The defense as a whole played pretty like crap against OU. I don't get why we didn't play Barnett on Burns' side to help with Shepherd. Burns is just ok, but Shepherd ran circles around him. McDaniel is our best corner, but it doesn't look like we change the sides our corners are on - much like the Seahawks do. It's our extremely conservative defensive scheme that makes the corners look worse than they are. We play soft coverage off the line, and maintain outside position. That allows the receiver to get inside for slants or posts at will. We rely on LBs and Safeties to take those away. It works great for teams who will make mistakes, like Tech, but it gets torn up if we don't get pressure, and our DEs have sucked this year.
