The game against Texas Tech was one for the record books on the offensive side of the ball. We were able to witness a real Big 12 offense hitting on all cylinders. Thundercat moved deftly through the line with patience and a much maligned (at least in my articles) player was the MVP.
But, this game story is not about the offense. This game was all about the “D.” In the last few weeks I have stated and implored the defense to settle on a blitz and swarm philosophy. Two of the last three weeks the Cyclones have employed this scheme to stay within striking distance of now #8 Oklahoma, and to completely dismantle the top offense in the conference.
