After a little time to reflect, I think a big reason we lost is because the defensive scheme we deployed worked fairly well but it had the unintended result of turning OU's offense into what we were hoping to be.
I think the three man fronts/lack of pressure was by design, we wanted to stop the run and keep the midget from ripping off 60 yard runs by making the edge rushers occupy their defenders and not get behind Murray. This made OU drive the feild, thus chewing up more clock than they normally would with their usual explosive plays. The more they held the ball, the less time we had to answer. OU never wins time of possession, but they did yesterday.
It's very counterintuitive and I'm afraid mensa Herman/Orlando would never concede that a more aggressive D, even if it meant giving up the big play-quicker score, would have been a better option.
