bob stoops calls out SEC defenses

[Kold]

Ol' Big game Stoops.....he keeps on talking while his teams keep getting ROLLED by all those SEC teams in bowl games. small game stoops is more like it

 

[Sox33OSU]

Didn't OU struggle mightily against an awful WVU defense that was shredded by fuckin Maryland?

The only bowl game he's gotten "rolled" in was the USC game. All the others were hard fought games.

and speaking of those games, with advantages with where they are, OU was FAVORED to win both against LSU AND Florida. The truth of the matter is, those historic offenses ran up against defenses that hadn't quite faced yet

We've been over this. That was with knight at QB. Totally different situation now. Try and keep up.

True, but isn't that how it's supposed to be? See who can elevate their game to a new level. Keep in mind neither Florida nor LSU ran wild on Oklahoma. Both were hard fought games but Oklahoma wasn't the better team in either of those games.

Word. Offense is hot all across football now. But defense still wins championships, and the team in the title game who plays the best defense THAT NIGHT will win. It might be Oregon, who picks off a Tahj Boyd pass as time expires in a 63-56 game, but it'll still be defense.

Game has changed a bit, and Stoops has a point: a crop of good offensive QB's have made the SEC defenses look less than dominant.

not sure that is the case. Sure as hell is not the case in the NFL. I can not remember a bad offense winning the title. I can remember bad defense winning (Auburn). This is just another BS sports meme. All about the mix.

and against aTm....but those games were indeed hard fought, I just remember those 2 years, that OU had 2 of the best offenses I had ever seen(especially the Sam Bradford year), and they just did not seem like themselves in the title game

Bob just cant help it. There is truth to the SEC over-rated defenses claim, but not enough to make noise. At the end of the day, the current Big 12 is probably the weakest edition in the past 5 yrs. I would wait at least until next yr to talk smack.

Absolutely this is the worst Big 12 showing we have had in years (I would say more than 5 years even). Also, agree this is not the year for any Big 12 coach to talk smack, as it is too easy of a comeback. However, at least he had the guts to say it and what he said has some truth to it.

Our defense was a joke last year.

Inexperienced defenses among the league's top teams mixed with a lot of experienced and great quarterback play in a more spread-looking league = more points. Pretty simple

that's cause Stoops is one of the best at getting outcoached.

The rest of this thread isn't interesting enough to read. I'm going to bring it up because it bears being brought up repeatedly.

And you and I have already discussed it at length. Did you suffer a blow to the head recently that caused you memory loss or are you just being stupid?

I have no idea what you're disagreeing with, Coda.

Are you saying offenses aren't ahead of defenses right now?

Or, are you saying defense DOESN'T win you a title?

Color me puzzled at what you took issue with.

 

[ktg8trgrl]

What they have done consistently is have better records over all then most of the big 12 and for the most part won their bowl games. And end with 9 wins or better

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

1. they don't light everybody up
2. new coach
3. johnny football

I have never agreed with the meme that defenses win titles. It is combination of the 2 units.
