The Oklahoma Sooners’ defensive back room had one of the strangest seasons among the position groups. When they were healthy, they were really pretty good, but when they weren’t healthy, they really struggled.
They also would show games where they were dominant but had several games where they struggled in coverage. The inconsistency in availability created an inconsistent performance.
The other part was the come-and-go nature of the pass rush. There were games where the pass rush created a lot of pressure and games where they applied very little.
The defensive back group struggled in zone coverage often throughout the season.
