Coming off a Texas win, the Sooners are back on track. And even though some can celebrate a return to normalcy, everyone is still uneasy about the future, especially on the defensive side of the ball. The guys break down what they saw in Dallas, what they saw on defense, where this team is right now and where they are headed. It's a deep dive into the defensive side of the ball and the challenges of succeeding in the Big 12 conference for defensive coordinators across this league. We also talk our impressions of personnel coming out of Texas. Josh chimes in with the latest on recruiting and any and all fallout from the victory in Dallas.
