Louisiana Tech defensive coordinator Manny Diaz downplays any edge gained by either side’s knowledge of the other for Saturday’s game against Oklahoma.
Given the track record of Diaz’s defenses against the Sooners, it’s no surprise.
Oklahoma’s coaches are plenty familiar with Diaz’s defensive schemes. From 2011 until two games into last season, Diaz was Texas’ defensive coordinator.
