On Saturday, Texas Longhorns defensive coordinator Todd Orlando will face arguably the most unenviable task in college football — trying to slow down the Oklahoma Sooners in the Big 12 Championship Game at AT&T Stadium in Arlington.
Orlando admitted on Wednesday that Riley is the top offensive mind in the country, so he can’t expect to enter Saturday’s game with some of the same blitzes and coverages that worked in October with the belief that Riley doesn’t have an answer now.
“There’s some things from a game-plan standpoint that — not with a coach like Riley — you’re just not going to go out and do certain things the way you did because they’re the top guys,” Orlando said.
