I agree about Diabate.  The last WVU game was his coming out party that led to increased PT late in the 2011 season and a starting job this season.  He is a big part of the Okie and will continue to be part of the unit.
 
I believe Davis is normally not part of the Okie package.  He was early in his career, it didn't work out (I think Diabate was the player who replaced him).  You would think with his excellent speed, Davis would be a staple of the Okie but it has not been the case. 
 
Not a fan of the idea to play Vaughn in the Okie package...his relative lack of speed would be exposed trying to cover the very fast skilled players WVU has.  If they try and run some sets with a FB and 2 TEs, sure, give Dan a shot.  But I don't think Dana plays that way...
 
Our best bet is to play Davis, who is a lot more experienced now and should be better prepared to play in the Okie.  We could also play Anderson, Lyn and Reddish at the same time.  That would make for a really strong pass coverage unit but The Dude is not an idiot and would call a lot of running plays against a lineup comprised of so many DB types.  Davis is decent against the pass, can provide a pass rush if needed and is better against the run than the DBs are.
