Son, I've seen defensive schemes come and go since the days when Spike Dykes was roaming our sideline, and let me tell you, a scheme is only as good as the men executing it. You talk about a 4-2-5 like it's some new invention. We were running variations of that back when Arizona was still in the Pac-10, or whatever they were calling it then. The foudation isn't the X's and O's, it's the culture, and you build that over decades, not a couple of seasons. I remember when Arizona used to come into Jones AT&T Stadium, and we'd light up that scoreboard like the 4th of July. You mention last year's stats, but last year you weren't playing in the real Big 12. You were playing a coast-to-coast schedule. This league is a different animal week in and week out. You think Texas Tech, Oklahoma State, Kansas State, those offenses are just going to be "patient"? That's a good one. We've been running hurry-up since before some of these coaches were born. Mike Leach's teams would have scored 50 on a "patient" defense by halftime. You lost players to the draft, and that matters. The portal giveth, and the portal taketh away. Systems don't tackle, players do. I'll believe it when I see it in Lubbock in November. We've got a long memory for new teams coming in here talking about their schemes. Welcome to the conference. We'll see how that structure holds up when our quarterback is slinging it all over the yard like the old days.
