Ask Nebraska about OU's bad defense..

Tim Tebow can't wait to go up against OU's defense. That's funny. Nebraska, and a lot of teams OU played this year, couldn't wait to get away from OU's defense. "Oh the humanity!" was all Nebraska fans could say after the first 6 minutes of the first quarter. After that Husker Nation had only one serious question on their hands: Was that just the worst beating we've ever gotten, or not? OU's message to Nebraska: No Sooner Magic needed.

And everyone knows Florida's defense is much better than OU's. After all, they're in the SEC. But, what if the offensive production allowed isn't the best indicator to go by? Florida had 837 total tackles during the regular season, which is not bad. OU..908. Florida had 272 tackles for a loss. OU..a mere 430. Florida had 31 sacks. OU..42 sacks. This is how the defenses compare head-to-head. OU plays in a tougher conference, with ALL 4 of the nation's top QBs; Sam Bradford, Colt McCoy, Graham Harrell, and Zack Robinson.

OU killed opponents by forcing turnovers often and early. With one of the greediest defenses in college football, OU's defense focused more on forcing turnovers and then scoring before the offense could even take the field. Not that most everyone hasn't heard of OU's no-huddle offense. Unstoppable is the word many have used to describe it. No modern program until now has ever scored 700 points in a season, or scored 60+ in 5 straight games. If you don't believe that, take it from Mizzou's Jeremy Maclin: "Are you kidding me? That offense is unbelievable." Unbelievable, works too.

Still not convinced? Then take it from Texas Tech's Mike Leach. After waiting in line for his 65-21 drubbing, OU had his #1 vote in the bag. In the press conference after OU's win over Tech, Stoops was asked if he had a Heisman winner in Bradford. His response: "Absolutely."

But, why is this team so good? Undoubtedly, it has much more to do with the chip-on-shoulder attitude that OU is playing with, than with Heisman QBs, no-huddle offenses, 65-21, or even 42 sacks and 32 turnovers. Each of OU's infamous 4-straight BCS losses came in games that OU should have won. Picked heavily over LSU, favored over much-hyped USC, come on..Boise State, and West Virginia was a program in anarchy. Can you say BCS funk? The sign plastered to the wall in the OU locker room says 48-28. That says it all.
