Good summation of the situation...
Oklahoma ranks 96th nationally in total defense, surrendering 421.2 yards a game. The Sooners are sandwiched in that ranking between Pittsburgh and Kansas State – which is why after Saturday, they’re no longer grouped in Playoff projections with Alabama and Ohio State.

Firing Mike Stoops hard but necessary as Oklahoma's porous defense derails Sooners
The midseason timing was less than ideal. But the Sooners’ poor performance against a previously pedestrian Texas offense was the final straw. Firing Stoops now might have been the only move for a program that is threatening – again – to waste a tremendous opportunity.
