More film absolutely makes it tougher. I don’t disagree at all. But the dude earlier was acting like OU should do something different.
As for defenses, I don’t think Texas’s Defense is any good. I think OU’s is average. Iowa St’s is ok. OSU’s may be the best in the Conf, but I still don’t think that’s real good either. Caleb Williams could easily lead OU to an undefeated regular season & Big 12 title. But a Big 12 title is not where this team has the bar set for this year. And the way this team looks, it has no chance at beating someone in a playoff gsme.
