Sick of 3rd and longs.....

When the train whistle blows, I immediately look to see the yds to go.. It is getting way to common for opposing teams to get a first down. Credit to opposing coaches, 3rd and 11, guess what, the receiver runs a 13 yd route, its completed and first down. We blitzed for a few plays, was in the Qb's face and forced a punt, then what? No more blitzing. Its frustrating... They may have been only 3 of 8 on 3rd down, but those 3 led to back breaking points. People may want White gone, but I do not think it would matter since Stoops is a defensive minded coach and whoever the coordinator is, it would ultimately be a Stoops scheme. Rant Over..

Defense isn’t the problem with this team.

Defense gave up 252 yards and was on the field most of the game. Hardly the problem.

31 pts to an awful USC offense.....that side of ball has plenty of concern. 7 points was Int for TD...but this unit allowed the other 24 points until 4th qtr when USC just sat on the ball. Multiple blown coverages once again....No reason USC scores more than 13-14 pts for a good SEC defense...which we are not.

The offense looks like big fat "F"...but the defense is a "C" unit..which with all the returning players is not good enough.

Defense gave up 4 plays all game. 3 were busts and 1 was on the staff. Tons of sacks, forced fumbles, pressures, etc

Its unfortunate their really good performance got overshadowed by those busts which were imo 1 but maybe 2 guys busting the same concept.

3rd and longs are a problem!
