Hey PK -- What would you say you do here?

Defense might have to win this game for us.

Nah but OU might not score again. They will get a few 3-8 yard plays even a 10-15 here and there but they aren’t getting a deep ball at all, and they won’t sustain 12-15 play drives.

This is what PK's defenses looked like for a decade+ at Washington.  He just now has elite talent all over the field doing it.

[Valmy77 13,626]

So Texas has given up three TDs in six games and only one when the game was competitive. Amazing.

This unit is doing some really special things so far.

That's 6.333 PPG. The defense seems to be improving incrementally, but we need more consistency from PK and group. I mean, how the hell do you give up zero points one game and then allow someone to run up 12 on you the next game? Or hold a team to 3 points and then allow an embarrassing 13 points the very next game?

Georgia just gave up 31 to Mississippi State, at home. But LT asks what PK does here. Three and half years later, still a dumb fucking subject header.

We’re going to fuck Georgia up.  Our defense is better than pretty much anyone else I’ve seen so far.  PK fucks, that’s what he does here!

After losing a generational DT combo I’m shocked the run defense has been so good.  And the secondary went from a liability to a strength.  And the LB are really good.  Defense is just fantastic across the board.  

[Vito Andolini 9,440]

I think Nansen has been a great addition to help the defense integrate all the position groups, the cliche “have everyone on the same page” stuff. Baker also probably knows what the hell he’s doing. And as important as any of it, Kwiatkowski has the maturity to listen to other voices and use their input. Add stud players, and we have a dominant defense.

The way Sark handled that first painful season looks amazing in hindsight. He believed in his approach and his key hires.  PK had the skins on the wall.

Just to brag a little, I was the first one to mention him in the coaching hire thread. That--and bringing up Grandy's--are my two proudest moments on this board.

PK getting too much credit here. Fat Gare is the real genius behind the defense.

And, it seems that OCs are better promotions than DCs as a general rule, but either can demonstrate a blindspot for the other side of the ball, see, e.g. Riley, Lincoln (and other Leach disciples, Venables, etc.).

It's good that Sark seems to appreciate both aspects of the game despite being an offensive guru.

Having the x's and o's AND the Jimmies and Joes is a pretty good formula.

Not that shocking when you see the actual pressure we’re getting on passing downs from the entire front. Makes coverage easy for the secondary.

Great "team" rush effort on several plays. 

Keeping blOU QB in the pocket and not allowing him to bust big runs was great!!!

Seeing Hawkins lose confidence in real time reminded me of the 2004 defense which obliterated every QB in every game. We even had a Derrick Johnson-like punch out.

Impossible, Hawkins never let's anything bother him. That's why they love him!

To add a stat that I heard on the broadcast: Offense has turned the ball over 11 times, and Defense has allowed 0 points on those turnovers. Seems like that can’t be right. 

[FORTY NINE TO ZERO 2,651]

think we should keep him...

[Rickylovesweed 15,461]

Biggest difference this year is we've gone from having 0 edge rushers to 3 or 4 legit edge rushers. 

Turns out that being able to get to the QB helps out a defense a lot.

It took him awhile, but he finally realized he couldn't outrun Hill. Or Gbenda. Or really anyone in the back 7. It seemed like half the tackles for loss were well outside the tackle box if not the actual sideline.

He couldn’t outrun Collins or Moore either.

This defense has a chance to go down as the most dominant defense in Texas history if they continue this.  Props to PK, the players, and the assistant coaches.  They have improved every year.  We're big, fast, strong, and can cover at every level.  The crazy thing is the level of disrespect this defense gets.  All week people talked about ou's defense.  This week they will talk about the UGA defense.  This squad should be getting more attention than the offense.  I cannot wait for them to fuck up Georgia.

Speaking of cool, Texas allowing only seven trips to the redzone in six games is very cool.

Yeah. That run by UTSA was the only TD in the competitive part of the game we have given up. And it made it 21-7 so not even that competitive.
