OT: Case Keenum (U Houston) throws 9 TDs in win
http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/football/boxscore?gid=201110270080
24/37, 534 yards, 9 TDs. Incredible. Can Houston make it to a BCS bowl if they stay undefeated?

I totally agree, however the only thing on their mind is probably engraving Keenum's name deeper into the record book

"yea keenum is a good qb, but why exactly was he in up by 33 in the 4th and still passing?"
The answer is in SouthTxMfan's post: Houston has litte chance at a BCS bowl even if they win out unless Boise loses. The only aspect that they can control is if they win by large enough margins and put up stats like 9 tds by the qb that people start paying attention despite their weak schedule.

I hear their strength of schedule is a joke and clearly they do the Oklahoma State thing which is to have no defense and just outgun people except that Oklahoma State doesn't allow 34 points to rice (presumably)

a potential move to the mighty Big East.

Looks like they're going for the Andre Ware approach.

Sweet. Maybe he can follow up his record-breaking college career with a huge bust in the NFL in the grand tradition of other Houston QB's such as Andre Ware and David Klingler.

There's always a chance this guy is legit, but that's not how I'd bet.
Michigan also clobbered Houston in 1992 and 1993 after Klingler graduated (61-7 and 42-21).

Houston is the new Texas Tech. And the last time I checked there are no starting QBs in the NFL from Texas Tech. Keenum is a product of a pass happy offense. Nothing more, nothing less.

I wonder how he would do in a tougher conference. Same for Denard running wild all over conference usa , he would have my heisman vote.

Those guys all benefited from offensive schemes based on throwing short passes on virtually every down against less-than-stellar defenses. If any of them had played in the SEC or Big 10 their numbers wouldn't have been remotely the same, and virtually none of them have had what could be called a truly successful NFL career.
Cliff Kingsbury is the QB coach at Houston, and he amassed a bunch of records at TT under Leach, some of which that still stand in the NCAA record book. Didn't matter—Kingsbury didn't last in the NFL either.
Those offenses are hothouse products that can only exist in rarified, special circumstances.
Personally, watching those offenses is like watching paint dry to me.

Too crazy stats...Maybe they will play in the Rosebowl and beat Wisconsin
