I love Todd Orlando's defense. I think it's the defensive analog to Mike Leach's frantic offenses. Lots of fast moving, athletic people who never stay still. It's the perfect antidote to the Big 12's OC in the sky radioing hot read audibles to the sideline offense.
However, it only works when everyone's on the same page. For both Maryland games, Texas had several players out or suspended. The replacements were brand newbies who, despite their talent, ended up turning in circles wondering about their assignment too many times.
I'm optimistic Texas now has enough depth that the players taking the field are indoctrinated into the defensive tactics and won't have any many mental lapses.
