There has really only been one defense that has been able to contain Heup's offense since he got here, and that is gerja. I know Vegetables is a good defensive coach, and that video talked about how Lebby was at OU for a minute so they know a little about the type of offense that is coming to town tomorrow. Lebby is not Heup and their offenses are not the same. Operating with tempo does not make the two offenses the same. Heup has scored points and made his offense go everywhere he has been. Veggies is used to slow offenses that just need to be contained between the tackles and that is enough. Heup is going to stretch them and make them run sideline to sideline. They are going to be gassed by halftime and if it is still close at halftime, our boys will run away with it in the 2H because OU's offense will not have enough juice against our offense that is fast and has to go up against this offense every single day in practice. Talking heads are going to explode Saturday night.

Main reason Kirby was able to contain it was because of the Joe's he had on the DLine. Penetrated/stymied the middle of our OLine (when we had Hooker). Wasn't anything schematically he necessarily did besides taking the deep threat away but Hooker had an off game and our OLine got beat a nice bit. I think this may be the year we have a real chance at beating them if Nico continues to improve and the OLine can hold up their end. Obviously, think our defense is good enough. Last year, Joe Milton wasn't beating them.

Kirby also had / has the luxury of playing man coverage as much as he wants….

Here's my thinking. . .
Are the '24 Vols as good as the '22 Vols on offense?

Are the '24 Sooners a lot better than the '22 Bama defense?

If they can stop us, I still don't think they'll be able to keep pace with what we do score. I think our defense is much better than their offense. It could be a 27-17 type game, but I think we get to 40 and they can't crack 30.

I don't think Nico is in Hendons realm..YET..at dicing up defenses, and it doesn't appear..YET...that we have a Hyatt or a Tillman Go-To superfreak WR...but the OL and the running game seems to be more lethal or at least on par with 22.

Okies defense ain't stopping us by itself...it is nowhere near being in Bama 22s league, but it's not their defense that people are counting on stopping us by itself..what they are counting on is Okies crowd totally screwing up our OL like Georgias crowd did in 22, and thus helping their defense to bog us down.

If that doesn't happen we will destroy them..if it does happen it will be a close game...that is about the gist of it.

I do think they will bog us down for a while but we eventually wear them down and pull it off anyway.
