Nosedive. 5 of the losses were by 1 possession. Offense was top 20 in the country. Defense was top 15 in TFL and INTs. Defense was just inconsistent which happens when nobody has experience. Almost every starter is returning and this class is a top 5 class. Several big transfers coming in too. Almost every starter has at least a year of starting experience now.

The coaches are proven. One beat SEC teams for natties. The other had the best offense in the SEC. The last time OU had a good defense was when venables was DC.
