Scouting Houston - Game Thread
December 3rd, 2011 at 12:59 PM ^
I'm not picky ... I'll take a new car and don't care what features are on it ... as long as my wife isn't buying it for me, and it doesn't come out of our bank account
December 3rd, 2011 at 12:41 PM ^
Houston QB does not like pressure.
Down boy, Mattison, down boy.
December 3rd, 2011 at 12:42 PM ^
December 3rd, 2011 at 12:45 PM ^
Houston looks like lunch...
I'm now hoping they win this game so we can thrash them with Manball and Mattison
December 3rd, 2011 at 12:47 PM ^
The only thing that would worry me if that they have a lot of Ninja receivers.
December 3rd, 2011 at 12:47 PM ^
Let's see if the gameplan changes when Houston has the wind. He's finding people now though. They just need to bring it in.
December 3rd, 2011 at 12:47 PM ^
Dropped TD pass? Winners want the ball when the game is on the line.
December 3rd, 2011 at 12:48 PM ^

Hagerup and the Houston kicker would have a derpfest if the two teams meet up.
December 3rd, 2011 at 12:49 PM ^
That's because you're a fool, Mr James.
December 3rd, 2011 at 1:04 PM ^
Has Houston at 5...and Boise State at 24. Hmmm. Yes. That makes perfect sense, Craig.
December 3rd, 2011 at 12:49 PM ^
Special teams. That is all.
December 3rd, 2011 at 12:49 PM ^
if Houston loses could they drop behind us?
December 3rd, 2011 at 12:52 PM ^
Good question. They would at least get hammered in the human polls.
December 3rd, 2011 at 12:57 PM ^
I think they will. Houston hasn't beaten anyone, so the pollsters will kill them. The computers already aren't fans of Houston and they'll drop significantly there too.
December 3rd, 2011 at 12:58 PM ^
December 3rd, 2011 at 12:50 PM ^
Yeah these teams are bad. Lines are small and slow and I can guarantee we have several athletes the likes of which they haven't seen all year.
December 3rd, 2011 at 12:50 PM ^
Having watched Keenum before, I feel pretty safe saying he will look a lot better when not in a wind storm. However, his receivers usually have drop issues like this IIRC. I'd be somewhat worried about an OSU passing game except for receivers dropping balls instead of the QB blatantly missing them.
December 3rd, 2011 at 12:51 PM ^
Looking at it Southern Miss is getting constant pressure on Keenum which would make me confident against and Im pretty sure the speed of Denard would overwhelm their defense
December 3rd, 2011 at 12:52 PM ^
This is crazy this is going to be a 6 hour game. Took an hour for the first quarter.
December 3rd, 2011 at 12:56 PM ^
They're going to lose I think and we will only play them if there's a rematch, which if OK St wins, I doubt there will be.
Houston has played one team with a winning record. Southern Miss is by far the best team theyve played.
December 3rd, 2011 at 1:41 PM ^
You think OK St will win? I doubt it. Oklahoma has a high powered offense too, just not as high-powered; the difference is that Oklahoma has a defense.
December 3rd, 2011 at 4:24 PM ^
Oklahoma does not have a defense.
December 3rd, 2011 at 12:55 PM ^
Denard and Fitz are going to eat this team alive.
December 3rd, 2011 at 12:55 PM ^
So. Miss up 7 1 minute to go in the first.
December 3rd, 2011 at 12:55 PM ^
If Houston loses does that help the BCS chances for Michigan?
December 3rd, 2011 at 12:55 PM ^
I feel pretty confident we could torch this team on offense. Serious question. If Houston loses does Boise jump into the top 6 and therefore get an automatic bid? Is that who we would play?
December 3rd, 2011 at 12:56 PM ^
Houston punched in the mouth. Let's see how they respond.
December 3rd, 2011 at 12:56 PM ^
If they win, we'd have the easiest BCS win ever. If they lose, it validates my feelings about mid-majors.
December 3rd, 2011 at 12:56 PM ^
Channel?
December 3rd, 2011 at 1:00 PM ^
But thanks
December 3rd, 2011 at 1:02 PM ^
I missedt at first, too. I thought it was going to be on Fox or something. Had no idea it was on ABC.
December 3rd, 2011 at 1:00 PM ^
I had a hard time finding it as well
... never woulda dreamed that this game would get on ABC
December 3rd, 2011 at 1:01 PM ^
Whatever the channel is in your neck of the woods.
December 3rd, 2011 at 12:57 PM ^
UM will SHRED Houston. Give me a fresh Denard, with no worries about tiring him out for future games. I could honestly see a 300 yard rushing game for Denard if Houston's offense keeps the pressure on us to score.
December 3rd, 2011 at 12:57 PM ^
Re: Houston. Haven't watched them at all this year, but I think Case Keenum's flat sidearm delivery will hurt his NFL chances. Seems really odd watching it. He has a quick release, but he is a product of the spread.
December 3rd, 2011 at 1:03 PM ^
Drops!
Missed tackles!
C-USA FOOTBALL!
EDIT: 17 yard sacks! C-USA FOOTBALL!!!
December 3rd, 2011 at 1:02 PM ^
Keenum does not look very mobile.
December 3rd, 2011 at 1:03 PM ^
Please Houston, Please of please blow this game.
December 3rd, 2011 at 1:03 PM ^
This is like watching high school football. Houston is a joke. I want us to play a legit team in a bowl.
December 3rd, 2011 at 1:04 PM ^
doesn't that lock us in to the Sugar Bowl against TCU?
December 3rd, 2011 at 1:05 PM ^
Does TCU play today? Maybe we need to start another scouting thread.
December 3rd, 2011 at 1:06 PM ^
TCU would be at large, but the bowl would not have to pick them? What could happen is that if Houston loses, then the Big12 gets another one in. Okalahoma could beat Okie St, the bowls could switch, and we could face Oklahoma. Fiesta Bowl dude said something of the sort in an interview with Okie State rivals site.
December 3rd, 2011 at 1:11 PM ^
I would live to play Oklahoma. That game would be epic.
Then next year we play Alabama. Hoke and company on the big stage. Michigan would be all the way back.
December 3rd, 2011 at 1:13 PM ^
Georgia would have to win along with Oklahoma, Iowa State, and Southern Miss. That would be in the Fiesta bowl as well. So really as long as Houston and Georgia loses we are set in the Sugar bowl. http://www.sports-ratings.com/college_football/2011/11/2011-2012-bcs-bo…
December 3rd, 2011 at 1:04 PM ^
Doesn't look like they will beat Southern Miss .... bring on someone else!!!
December 3rd, 2011 at 1:04 PM ^
refs are bad...some serious rigging on that last play
