5 Thoughts Following the Loss to Oklahoma State

Off. looked better in second half but same old bad def.

Since we let the other team score so easily on their first possession, can we stop deferring to the second half?  Take the ball and go score so we start with the lead!

I thought the one thing that really hurt this defense was not generating any turnovers.  I wish it didnt happen this way, but this defense seems to play with more intensity and fire after a TO.  Not getting one on Saturday hurt them.  I know they should've stopped them anyway, but no TO was key IMO.

Why does it take a TO to fire up this defense? Do they not have the confidence, swagger to play D unless they get a break?

3 and out are just as good as a turnover in my book. Why not celebrate those like a turnover? A turnover is one player's mistake. 3 and out and it's on the players on the field. That's more demoralizing if you can string a few of those together.
