In a conference not exactly known for its defense. He may be a decent DC, but I definitely don't see him as a step up and he's probably a significant step down.
Just relaying what is being said here in OK. http://m.newson6.com/Story.aspx?story=27753592&catId=244561
Thats where NOLA.com got the info, link is in their article. That's also the article linked in the original post.
That is my concern, too. USC is a private school w/high academic standards, and Cal is a top notch academic school. Both recruit a different level of athlete. Not sure if a complicated system would work at LSU. But, if he's toned it down, then great. May all be for naught if CLM has already targeted his guy. Stoops seems like a mixed bag of results. Wonder why he would interview for, but spurn CUM last year, and then come to LSU now.
OU gave up 30 or more points 7 times this year. The last 3 years OU has ranked 65, 20 and 52 in total defense, according to the morning advocate. 8-5 record this year.
