I'd say the issue was more tackling and physicality then schemes. Didn't the players like oakafor even come out and say they practiced soft and could not turn it up physically on game day.

But really Texas was one of the worst tackling major programs I have ever seen.

Mack was afraid of getting players hurt, so they practiced "thudding" instead of tackling and you can see the results of that. Oak was a beast this year despite playing on the worst defense in Texas history. And Vaccaro was good for most of the year as well.

But most of the problems do go back to the top. In this case, it's the soft nature and entitlement issues of a Mack Brown coached team. He coddles the shite out of players and it shows, especially when teams hit them in the mouth. It's fricking embarrassing.
