Defense Tonight

[TheJackWePack5]

I thought played pretty well in most of the first half, just completely ran out of gas there at the end, the offense did them no favors at all.

Our offense had the ball in OU territory many times yet managed only 16 points. Pretty sad really. OU D-Line absolutely owned our O-Line all game.

In before moral victories.

Looked good for the first half? Who gives a S***. We looked like complete s**** in the second half. It's. 4 quarter game. Enough of the moral victory crap!

 

[CyArob]

They sort of quit in the third quarter, but other than that...

Other than over half the game, the D played well.

 

[CyCloned]

Defense gave up way too many huge plays. There were pretty good for several plays and then would give up a 50 yard play.

We dominated time of possession. Shouldn't have been that tired.

Ran out of gas!!!??
OU scored 4 touchdowns on less than 5 plays each.
Ran out gas??? SMH

I think it's more about busting their butts in what could have been a close game with more drives being finished by the offense. It's also about OU's pace.

We may be the worst tackling team in the country.

They are being efficient, why tackle them when they'll just stop running when they reach the endzone.

We may be the worst tackling team in the country.

For the past few years

What? You could have thrown it to the receivers on a couple of those TD's they were so wide open.

The offense had the ball 33 minutes to OU's 26 minutes.

If the D was tired that is a pretty out of shape bunch.

Yeah, you're right.....good lord man, we just shut out a Big 12 team last week! Yes, they didn't play well tonight, but lets not get too negative, geeesh.

This includes scoring drives of 1, 1 and 2 plays.

I wish ISU could play a bad one dimensional offense with a really bad qb and divided lockerroom each week.

 

[Londo]

3 one play TD drives, that is the only stat you need to tell me before evaluating the defense tonight. It had its moments but that's is completely unacceptable

 

[fsanford]

You could set up a team in the red zone for 3 consecutive series and they would not have this kind of success against most P5 teams. Brutal.

 

[Cyrealist]

Despite giving up 3 quick touchdowns, the defense was making plays in the first half. They got a turnover on downs and a fumble and forced several punts. We were only down 12 at half. For being burned by some big plays, that isn't bad. In the third quarter, they held for a field goal, but then the offense could get nothing going and I believe the defense was unable to maintain the intensity to play with a great offensive team. Oklahoma looks to ride their winning streak into Stillwater. We got beat by a top 10 team on the road. That's going to happen. I still thought there were some positives, Unfortunately Okie State doesn't look to be any easier.

Because offense wasn't doing jack.

People love to bag on the D, yet fail to realize that nobody plays hard defense when the offense can't get a first down in 4+ drives.
