Our defense does a great job -- they do not get enough credit for shutting down players and eliminating the amount of opportunities other teams get. They did a really great job against a good team like Oklahoma." - Head Coach <dfn><a href="/coaches.aspx?rc=178" rel="smarttag" rev="178">Paul Jobson</a></dfn>WHAT'S NEXT The Bears host No. 17 Texas Tech on Sunday at 1 p.m. CT on FOX Sports Southwest.-BU-
