When you summarize Oklahoma football in 2015, high-octane offense comes to mind first and foremost.
Offenses get all the hype when you talk about Clemson and Oklahoma football this season, but neither team would be where they are without a stellar defense.
There is little question that the Sooners and the Tigers, who will face off on Thursday in the first of the national semifinal games that consititute this season’s College Football Playoff, are loaded with talent and explosiveness on offense, but I am willing to bet you that the best offense won’t win on Thursday; rather, the team that plays the best defense will walk off with the victory and advance to play one more game.
