Yep.

He was a good player...but overall I think our defense suffered when it mattered most BECAUSE of his presence and it's effect on the defensive scheme.

A corner rusher is great if you have an immobile QB like Macarron (sp?). But against the guise with wheels you suffer. That corner rusher's position success rate is a coinflip at best over half the time he's on the field.

Yeah, he was a great emotional leader and his motor cannot be put into question. I'd dare put him as one of the 5 best in OU history...but I'm glad he's gone. Expect more size at the position.

Striker got abused by Clemson, and he really limited our packages. No way is he going to sit, but he was just too situational.

Yep, he either comes in on 3rd and distance or 1st and more than ten....and when it's not 3rd down, he's shadow on the qb.

It will be interesting to see how the coach's change their game plan in regards who will replace Striker.
