I noticed on the OU depth chart released that they have their defense in the Heacock 3-3-5. Don’t recall hearing of that formal change.

I start to think we have a big OL, then I look at Oklahoma’s.
sheesh.
sheesh.
No joke. They have two guys under 320 in the two deeps. We have two guys over 320 in our two deeps.
Now I know why OU leads the league in rushing every year
They average like 6'5" 330 lbs. Those are earth movers

Grinch has always been fairly multiple and his aggressiveness and his desire to play fast leads to a 3 down with a hybrid end type of guy. It seems like WSU was a lot of 3 man front stuff.
Just absolute maulers. Top 5 OL year in and year out.
Give me a decent QB and an awesome OL and DL, and you will win a ton of games.... no matter what you have everywhere else on your roster.
And many years in the past, those have been the weakest spots on ISU teams.
Hudson is one huge guard ! I don't think I've ever seen a guard that big. on another note, you go two tight end set and we are a very big line.
They also have one of the best o-line coaches in the country.
I'm sure they have plenty of 4 and 5 star recruits at both of those positions.
Stacey Wilkens at LT. I would have felt bad for any dude named Stacey and the crap they would get for it. But at 6’6” 316lbs, I’m guessing he’s fine. Good lord.
Actually, no they don’t. Which was the point of my post. After transfers, opt outs and injuries, this isn’t’t the usual OU stable.
And one of those three is out, only one of the many OU players missing due to injury. One of the listed starters is even a small school transfer who started out at Okie State.
Just looking at the depth chart they just released, per 247 rankings:
TJ Pledger - RB. 4 star
Marcus Major - RB. 4 star
Theo Wease- WR. 5 star
Theo Howard - WR. 4 star
Charleston Rambo - WR. 4 star
Marvin Mims - WR. 4 star
No doubt they'll miss guys like Lamb, Sermon, and Brooks, but I think they'll be fine in the long run. Just hopefully after the ISU game
And why it looked like men vs boys when we played Notre Dame. These guys get the best biggest baddest men. We just can’t quite get them here.
