3-4/50 fronts, both teams, usually 2 safeties

Same we lined up with vs Army

I don’t carry if you call the DEs or OLBs. That’s eyewash

On the flip, there is a good argument our personnel doesn’t fit our scheme. But to simply blame ‘only have 3 guys with their hand in the dirt’ is ignoring decades of OU defensive history.

What I did notice is they varied the alignment more with their shades. Packed it in tighter. Sometimes head-up with guard. Also use of goalline/short yardage packages, which I don’t understand why we don’t utilize
