Chuck Carlton, Big 12 insider for SportsDayDFW.com and The Dallas Morning News, answered questions about the league in a live chat Friday. Here are some highlights.
Which defense do you think will be the best this Big 12 football season?
Chuck Carlton: Kansas State, TCU and West Virginia should be the among the leaders, just on the basis of coaching and scheme and recent history. If you're looking for improvement, Todd Orlando's track record indicates that Texas should be much, much better than the unit Longhorn fans have seen the past couple of seasons.
