Texas DC Todd Orlando feels more confident in his secondary vs. OU this season

On Wednesday, Texas Longhorns defensive coordinator Todd Orlando met with the media to wrap up last weekend’s win against the Kansas State Wildcats and look ahead to his second Red River Showdown against the Oklahoma Sooners.

Here are some notes from the availability.

— Orlando called Oklahoma quarterback Kyler Murray an “exceptional” athlete. He noted that the coaches spent some time on Sunday night discussing the fact that baseball general managers thought there were only eight players who were more talented in the 2018 MLB Draft.

Murray is “starting to get a complete grasp of their system” and doesn’t get enough credit for his arm, according to Orlando.
