Why is the Big12 the way it is?

Just about every game is 50-49 score, no matter the teams.
The crap teams still score 40+ on the "good" teams with ease.
The defenses look completely lost.
How can it be consistently like this year after year?

Lester is about to flip the script.

Also, not calling timeout on the first play, where Grier only ran for like 3 yards.

They also were correctly going for it on 4th down instead of kicking FGs cuz they knew their defense wouldn't hold.

to be fair it makes for fun games and some big upsets
a team has a shot to make a couple stops and win a big game vs one of the top teams.

Genius offensive minds.
If you were a creative offensive coach, where would you want to coach?

Blame Mike Leach and Bob Stoops.

quote:
After the Sooners topped the Big 12 in passing and returned to a bowl after a four-year drought, it wasn't long before others attempted to replicate Oklahoma's success utilizing the Air Raid.
After his one year in Norman, Texas Tech hired Leach, and Lubbock became an incubator for the looming outbreak of the Air Raid, both to the Big 12 and other conferences.
There, Leach groomed, among others, Dana Holgorsen, Kliff Kingsbury, Sonny Cumbie, Sonny Dykes, Seth Littrell and Riley, who combined would spread variants of the Air Raid to Oklahoma State, West Virginia, Houston, TCU, Texas A&M, Cal, North Carolina, Arizona, North Texas, Bowling Green, Louisiana Tech, Indiana, East Carolina and, in the case of Riley, whom Leach hired to be an assistant at age 20, back to Norman.
If it seems like Stoops and his staff were just mad scientists unaware what this offensive plague would do, they weren't. They were watching its decimation firsthand in practice daily.
"I was willing to sacrifice some of the defense for [the tempo]," Stoops said. "What people don't realize, when you're practicing the tempo, you're not able to make corrections in practice. Other times you would slow it down, correct what you did on defense and get it right. Well, when the tempo is going, you don't have time to. So, there in the end, it doesn't lend itself to that."

They all run the exact same offenses and get the same results. That doesn't strike me as genius it strikes me as mediocracy.

it all started when Oklahoma upset Florida State in the national title game while running a spread offense run by a pirate...
*ETA: that's actually wrong, but basically OU dominated the conference running the spread and their former OC leach did amazing things at TTEch doing the same. evetually everyone gave in

We don’t really know.
LSU should’ve played Okie State in the MNC game on January 9, 2012. Then, we’d know whether a stonewall defense stops an unstoppable offensive. The SEC circle jerk didn’t exactly end up in our favor that year.

Well our OC is fricking awful
We kept going three and out in the second half and our defense got exhausted
The first half our defense played great

Going to be interesting to see what les can do with bad recruits and an archaic offensive philosophy.
Posted on 11/17/18 at 9:04 pm to MissyTiger
Osu would've probably scored 20 something but would've been absolutely ransacked on the other side of the ball against LSU.

It will probably work out as well as Tommy Tuberville did at Texas Tech.
