Oklahoma football: Huge defensive swing is on the table

Oklahoma football football fans say it with us: Your Sooners were very bad on defense last year.

Doesn’t it feel a little better just to get it out there and off your chest? If there’s any good news after a terrible defensive season in 2018 it is that there’s nowhere left to go but up after giving up 40-plus points for the second-consecutive year in a playoff loss.

Still, some are questioning just how far the Sooners can climb from last year’s dismal results. Just how big a swing is even possible? Well there’s a recent example not too far down the road when Todd Orlando inherited a terrible Texas defense and turned them into one of the better units in the country in just one year’s time.
