In the past OU has usually played with 2 linebackers or at times 1 with 4 down linement and 5 ot 6 dbs depending on how many linebackers. I believe it was last year that OU played 3 linebackers even against passing teams because they believed their was enough speed in the linebacker corp to cover the underneath routes and sometimes down field.
I dont know that they have that kind of confidence this year and I expect a lineup something like
A. Dotson G. McCoy D. Granger A Dotson
. L Baker C Lofton
M Walker R. Smith
Nic Harris L Holmes D J Wolfe
Good thing about Baker is he is like having an extra DB with his speed and ok cover ability(not good for a safety but good for a LB). Lots of Cover 3 and 4, especially when TT sends 5 receivers, with Harris doing some different things (Blitzing some) and maybe Lendy rushing the qb some.
Reggie gets a turnover tonight and a sack
