Jayden Jackson playing at a high level as Oklahoma defense looks to respond vs. New Mexico
- Oklahoma defensive tackle Jayden Jackson attributed mistakes in the Michigan loss to fundamentals, overplaying assignments and being in the wrong gap. The Sooners allowed only 75 yards over Michigan's final five possessions, so the report pairs a stronger late stretch with unresolved execution concerns before New Mexico.
- Jackson describes Oklahoma's interior defensive-line depth behind himself and David Stone as encouraging, highlighting later additions Braxton Fely and Danny Saili. He says Saili has flashed and both are working to catch up in the system. This is a teammate's assessment, not a confirmed change to the starting lineup or snap rotation.
- Jackson says Saili's previous SEC experience helps him recognize blocks and formations, while learning Brent Venables' distinctive defensive scheme remains the bigger adjustment. Saili and Fely have been working closely with position coach Todd Bates to get comfortable; the article does not quantify their game readiness or expected workload.
