Mark Stoops vs 3rd and long is a case study of incompetence!

How do you get hosed on a 3rd and 18 deep deep deep in your own territory at home? Unbelievable
Every year and every team. It's just beyond belief...
I mean at some point does ANYONE love Stoops enough to lead an intervention? Family members , friends , middle school classmate ? Anyone ???
We're lucky they threw it to us in the red zone. They should have at least one TD. Maybe two. That score could easily be much, much closer.
I like what I'm seeing overall, but third and long is still humbling Coach White and Stoops.
While I agree, 3rd and long has killed us over the years and cost us some games. We’ve sat back on our heels way too many times and allowed mediocre QBs to pick us apart.
By only sending 3. Its what he does all the time or White whoever.
Switch it up some!
Do we know Stoops calls he defense on 3rd and long? How is it on Stoops and not Brad White?
First 3rd and long we had a guy there to make a tackle and he didn't.
Second 3rd and long (3 and 8) we played man type and jq got beat while bringing 6 guys. That was an extremely aggressive call that everyone constantly pines for. They converted and everyone blames the coaches even though its the very thing the fans want.
After that we started playing zone that everyone hates and shut them down.
As usual with the defense my complaint is with the players and recruiting. Max is going to play man on boundary side which is fine. You could tell they tried to see if jq could play some man tonight but he was beat most times i could see. We are always one cb short and this year is no different.

Oh. I thought you had actually gathered some evidence to present. Never mind. I mean, I believe you, but your headline is misleading.
White has always been notorious for playing off people (way off) on third and long. His players’ spacing has always been too much.
They have other options Waller and the freshmen Nichols are really good but both not 100% right now.
At any rate I'm not sure why Hardaway plays field. His strengths are his size and length which would make him more of a boundary. Harrison can obviously play anywhere.
We always have one really good cb so he plays man in the boundary. Boundary in college is a much shorter throw so thats a really tough cover.
In college to the field is a very long throw. We put the weaker CB there and play zone to that side due to the longer time to react.
We just can't find that 2nd man cb. Haven't been able to since echols.
You think you play bump and run in every scheme ? Learn defensive schemes then come back.
