Oh I'm not surprised at all. I will say it's sort of perplexing how no one in the Big 12 has figured out that defense wins championships. If any team in that league had a defense worth anything they'd dominate for years.
Maybe, but Nebraska couldn't win 1 championship with pelini, and they were probably the best defense outside the SEC in some of those years. But you can probably blame that on pelini not understanding the offense and Nebraska not being full of great recruits.

Nebraska's recruit problem is one reason, but you hit the other one - having an offense to compete with other offenses while still having a solid defense.

Name a team that has both without having great talent?

True but the problem was that then they were ONLY defense. They had no offense whatsoever then.

I believe Houston is good enough to beat OU, but only if OU makes mistakes or continues to play lazy on defense as they have so far. Talent to talent, OU has the decisive advantage.
