According to The Oklahoman, Oklahoma Sooners coaches are telling recruits they are switching to a 3-4 base defense in 2013.
The Sooners are losing four defensive tackles to the NFL, and Jordan Phillips is the only remaining interior defensive lineman with quality playing experience. It will be a big shift away from the traditional four man front and the Sooners spend plenty of time with five defensive backs and only two linebackers on the field. The school is starting fresh in 2013 with plenty of younger players getting a chance to step into starting roles.
