bob stoops calls out SEC defenses

[4down20]

Probably to same point you were trying to make with your original statement about how UF held OU below their average.

 

[ktg8trgrl]

yeah, i called this last year. it's the simple answer.

Either a rookie QB and a rookie coach are somehow made of magic.... or "SEC Defense" is mostly hype.

What's the simple answer?

aTm is made of magic? or SEC Offense blows and their 'Defensive superiority' is mostly hype?

Florida shut down JF.. with a decent defense last year.. idk what the hell stoops is talking about..

Bob Stoops of Oklahoma Sooners challenges SEC defenses again - ESPN

discuss

Yawn.... he did this in 2008 as well... and his highest scoring team in the nation blowing out high school teams in and B12 competition with scores up to 72 pts per game got embarrassed by the SEC on national TV.

Great thing is there are plenty of videos on Youtube to show what happened the last time Stoops tried to rally his base...

 

[Wishbone]

Bob Stoops isn't afraid to poke the bear. And he's right! The Sec all of a sudden has 4 Nfl quarterbacks and now the Sec defenses are bad. Welcome to Big XII life the last 5 years!

He is just trying to pump up his team... he knows the truth.

Kiffin did the same thing at Tenn saying how they would beat Florida...blah, blah...

This is a tactic by a coach who sees weakness in his team... nothing more.

Hopefully OU gets a parity SEC team in a bowl game.. even a bad SEC defense is generally light years ahead of the B12 defenses...

I disagree about the sec defenses blowing.. however I would agree that this, year with a lot of inexperienced people on teams ..just how strong they are is somewhat debatable.. but I will still take Florida, Bama, Georgia,Scar Lsu defenses against the rest.. and those high scoring offenses will not be so high scoring

And generally Big XII offenses are light years ahead of Sec offenses. Not sure your point here.

 

[BamaTee1]

You do realize OU's defense held UF's offense to 20 points less than it's scoring average too...

But Urban Meyer doesn't keep running his mouth about Big 12 defenses and what does how OU's defense did, have to do with the SEC defenses, Stoops called out?

 

[Wishbone]

It's funny how A&M was a middle of the pack Big XII team and the minute they get to the SEC they light everybody up. Hmmmm

You mean like the OU offense in 2008?

The B12 offenses are generally a function of the shit defenses they play against... so no, not quite the same point.

Remember when the B12 was on top of the world with Texas, OU, and Texas Tech being tied for the best the B12 had to offer... OU was scoring 70+, Texas Tech was on a roll, etc..

Miss (yes Miss... Ole Piss) came in and completely shut down Tech in the bowl.

Florida shuts down OU...

Defenses matter... the speed of the SEC ends and line have been the big difference in most of the NCGs over the last 6 years...

Your offenses could be light years ahead.. but if your not scoring because of our defenses we win.

Really? A mediocre Florida team beat them last year.

Don't confuse the hype for Johnny Football with State being a good team.

Also, TAMU has a shit defense ... if their D was good, they would be competing for a NC. So you bring up a good point...

Hell, Arkansas...one of the worst teams in the SEC who almost lost to Samford and did lose to teams like Rutgers in the last year, etc.. almost beat TAMU this past weekend..

It was a scoring fest with NO defense on either side.

So, because they aren't as good this year, it's somehow evidence they haven't been good in recent years?

As for Alabama vs A&M, Alabama allowed 14 points and then went on a 42-7 tear. The score was 42-21 going into the 4th quarter, which actually puts A&M in what is technically considered garbage time. Alabama scored 7 more, while A&M scored 21 in the 4th quarter.

Personally it didn't feel like garbage time to me, but the guy who was covering Evans got injured for the 2nd half(Belue) and was out with turf toe. After they put him on Evans he didn't do too much. Additionally, Alabama was playing a lot of new starters as it was only our 2nd game of the year, and our best corner may end up being a true freshman.
-

Despite all this, Alabama still managed to hold A&M to only 1 point more than Oklahoma managed last year at the end of the season with all their defensive players having the year of experience, and last year Alabama held A&M to only 29 points, 12 less than Oklahoma. As well, LSU held A&M to only 24 and Florida held them to only 20 points. Even Ole Miss held them to only 30 points.

So how did A&M average all that offense? Because they left Manziel in for 5 and 6 TD's in games against the bottom SEC teams and non conference games. Something I've pointed out for the past years in terms of Manziels stats being hyped.

Seems like Stoops is running his mouth yet again.

-
So the defense of being called a bad defense is to compare yourself to one of Stoop's worst defenses. Interesting defense.

They didn't light everyone up. Their stats were inflated while playing lower competition and leaving JFF in for 5 and 6 TD's a game.

Against the better defenses, they never scored more than 30 points.

Lol, let them live in their Sec bubble.....

I didn't tell him to run his mouth about other defenses.

I'm in the minority of OU fans that actually like Stoops it seems. I'm not sure what context this quote was taken from but it's pretty clear SEC offense has caught up to the defenses and there's nothing wrong with that. SEC homers bragging about the D's in that conference is way late, kinda like 20 year olds that are steeler and cowboys fans bragging about rings those teams won well before they were born.

We don't have to "live in our bubble" the last 7 NCs prove our defenses are still better then anyone else's "best" offenses. Period.. there is no argument.

You have had great one or two teams at the top. Nobody disputes that. Big I'm not going to sit here and let you tell me how great Vandy, Kentucky, Arky, Tenn, Miss St, A&M, Miss St. defenses are.
