Lincoln Riley's teams are cotton soft. USC is NO different than OU

Think you are wrong Gol but will check the stats and get back to you. But this year's OU D not any better.

In 2018 Oklahoma had the 101st ranked defense

This year SC has the 68th ranked defense

Okay HC then

It's possible

I’d be interested at the rating if they forced 1/2 as many TOS. Would like to know the difference in TO margin between OU and SC

Will check that out but the 2021 OU D averaged giving up about 15 yds less per game and 1 pt less per game than USC D this year. So probably ranked in the 60s.

they both are. But Riley has the offensive talent to overcome in most games. Same at OU.

The key for ND is 1. Win TO battle. 2. Score on D or Teams. 3. TOP 4. 3rd down
