DB's play with space because Stoops wants to play this lousy software zone bend but don't break (it always breaks) defense....it's lousy and losing defense in football. We never have any sort of pass rush, we rarely blitz and allow the QB to eat a sandwich and smoke a cigarette before hitting a receiver.
You know, it's freaking sad when I'm sitting here watching a Mizzou team that is man handling UT with great offense/effort and a strong physical defense. I think Stoops snail pace ultra conservative boring style of defense/offense has had it's time here, there needs to be a major coaching staff overhaul from DC and down. If Stoops won't make some huge changes, then maybe it's time for him to go.
While we're in the Mr. Clean toilet bowl, we'll be seeing Mizzou in a NY6 bowl, something we've not sniffed yet since Stoops has been here. I have to give Drinkwitz credit, he's turned that program around in 3 yrs. It can be done at UK too with the right staff and an administration that demands Excellence instead of mediocrity. Until then we'll witness what we've seen today as long as we accept the same old, same old.
