Dave says his worry about Grinch’s defense makes the TCU game dicey

Best way to begin a turn around. Beat Texas.

Yes it was frustrating and totally exhausting watching that near five hour game. But in the end, we won and kept the Golden Hat in Norman.

However, the win didn’t really provide too much confidence moving forward. For three and a half quarters, the defense showed signs that they we actually taking steps in the right direction. But then they reverted back to form and let a converted linebacker score like 15 touchdowns while running like 800 yards…well, it wasn’t that bad, but you get the picture.

But that really doesn’t do you any good when you don’t know where you’re going.

Several busted coverages in the second half led to the Wildcats being able to erase a 21 point deficit and upset the Sooners who came into the game as a 27 point favorite.

I guess we really should have seen this coming. The defense is replacing the interior line due to Neville Gallimore graduating and Jalen Redmond opting out for the season because of the pandemic. They were also without their best pass rush in Ronnie Perkins due to suspension.
