At the start of the season I felt our second half defense was pretty solid. I’m not sure why. Gibbs says he called the same defense. I’d like to think it had to do with the offense getting teams out of their game plan. This will probably be our best run D, making teams play catch up. We probably just had more depth than the teams at the beginning of our schedule.

I thought SHSU started pressing in the second half and started turning the ball over. We gave up 2 garbage TDs in the last quarter. Against UTEP Aaron Jones was hurt but if Kris Williams doesn’t lose leverage on the ISO play, they probably would have given up on the run. That was a 90 yard play. We gave up 3 in the second half. The same for Arky. TCU scored 22/55 in the second half. Only 15 point in the second half if you want to be petty. ISU scored 10/31 points in the second half…I still like their RB.

The KU game is where it falls apart. From this game on teams scored at least half of their points in the second half except WV.

In the second half:

KU-20/20

OU- 35/63

OSU 42/70

WV-14/31

KSU-23/44

UT-35/45

LSU-35/56

After looking at this it’s pretty obvious why we have a new strength coach. Hopefully for the first time under KK we can finish games. If we can finish as well as we start on defense we’d win a few more games. Hell, we’d probably go 10-2 last year. I don't know much about the last guy but so far he's starting to look like as good of a hire as Wally.
