Oklahoma Sooners Football: Spring is for sorting out defensive positions

As the Oklahoma Sooners start spring practice this week, the biggest questions for the program surround new defensive coordinator Alex Grinch and his plans for that side of the ball.

Grinch is inheriting an experienced group that essentially lost one starter after the end of the 2018 season. Considering how little will carry over from the old regime’s scheme, all that experience doesn’t count for much. That’s probably a good thing for many of the players on this roster.

Grinch and the rest of OU’s defensive coaches now get 15 spring practices to begin evaluating how different players work in his system.
