‘(Gundy has) gone roughly 20 years with winning seven or more games. That’s absurd.’
“They’re completely different than last year,” Dillingham said. “Brought in a new coordinator (Bryan Nardo) last year, who is still there, but he was three-down, three-high safety. They’re not that this year. They’re back to four-down — way more traditional based. I could see them potentially going back to the three-down, so we’ll have to practice both just because they did do a little bit of that. So, you have to have a plan for both. …
“They’re changing quite a bit from earlier in the year to now, so you kind of gotta prepare for not what they’re currently doing but what they have in their arsenal. I know that’s that three-high safety stuff.”
Kenny giving Mike an “Attaboy”. 
Sounds like he’s already got our “defense” dissected.

Worst defense I’ve seen in my 30 years of watching OSU. We had a nice interception in zone defense last week. Need to do that a lot more to not be so predictable and so our linebackers and safeties have their heads towards the line of scrimmage. That Arkansas QB run with our DB running in front of him head the wrong way still makes me laugh. DBs just aren’t good enough for man coverage against Big 12 receivers either. All of that combined isn’t worth the turnovers and sacks we produce.
I do like the 4 down even if it’s been worse than last year. Just need better d-linemen… and a better defensive coordinator. It’s a crime what Nardo has done to Oliver.
