If you think turnovers=luck, then you don’t understand Jay Hill’s defense. He has changed expectations, first among his staff, second among his players. Fans seem a bit slow to get it.

I don't know but a defensive foundation is far more sustainable than offensive

Same way it went for most teams against the best team in history.

Even if Washington played us and beat us, we were still a championship caliber

There already was one: Baylor.

"struggling" is forcing 2 turnovers, 2.3 yards per carry, and 56% pass comp?

If Oklahoma St installs new QB, it could get beautifully ugly for OSU on Friday.

Interestingly there were 3x as many fumbles than interceptions in NCAA last year

OSU is second to last in Run Offense in the Big-12. And Colorado doesn't try.

That’s probably because OSU has been holding back their full run playbook

I'll take it. Ok St defense sucks.

If there are more than 2 outcomes, most likely can be less than 50%.
