So yea that stuff wasn't pretty. If you watched the team obviously the numbers shouldn't surprise you, Oklahoma was absolutely garbage juice defensely for the first half of the season. That Texas Tech game was the worst frickin thing I believe I have witnessed on a football field, however the last quarter of the season the defense absolutely improved or those numbers would be worse: Passing last quarter of the season BU: 21-46 (46%)WVU: 12-27 (44%)OSU: 11-25 (44%) Auburn: 13-27 (48%) Total: 57-125 (46%)

The hope is that these numbers will greatly improve next year, I think its more than fair to expect/demand improvement. I do think it'll happen too. My expectations are that the defense will return to a Top 50 defense, a moderate more bit of success in pass defense basically assures that.
