I know we have a ton of injuries... but the one thing that I will say that has been lurking for weeks...
we're not nearly athletic enough defensively at LB and DB. Some of that is certainly our starters being out but...
we're going to need to improve that moving forward. Injuries or no. Yes, we're never going to be able to recruit the extreme speed demons like Texas or Georgia or Ohio State. Duh.
Our LB's have the excuse of injuries, right, more or less.
But our DB's...how many games now have people just been running past them? Again, I get it. We're unlikely to ever have a bunch of DP's out there with elite level speed. But this is 3-4 weeks now where we look noticeably slower than the other team's skill guys.
Again. Injuries definetely are a factor. But I'd also say its an area where if we want to be the cream of the Big 12... we also need more speed across the board
