about our defense last night. Nothing earth shattering but it was interesting hearing it from a scout that knows football in and out.

“Ruffin isn’t an X’s and O’s guy. He’s a motivational guy. He was NEVER brought in to call the defense. They are still running Mike’s D. Too late to install a new scheme. They aren’t talented on D. DL gets Zero pass rush. 9 may be least instinctive Mike I’ve seen at OU. Bolton shouldn’t start at OU. Bookie is all hype. Name a single “play” he’s made all year? The corners are undersized midgets w/no ball skills who don’t want to tackle.

Bruh, they lined up in a 3 man front with both DT’s in a 4i!! That’s why UT ran the QB run up our a**! Yesterday #13 had no safety help and allowed an inside release on their 1st TD! They do dumb stuff technique wise.

Kenneth Murray needs to be a 4-3 will. Put him in the bubble and let him run and chase. He can run but his instincts at Mike are still bad. Gets picked off too much inside.”

I then asked his thoughts about the WVU game and his answer was. “That QB isn’t all that. We may be able to play keep away. Our OL is really good. Best I’ve seen at OU 1-5. They aren’t great this year though. That QB is playing well and they can score.“



Again some things you all knew but the Kenneth Murray comment was interesting and what he said about Bookie.
