I agree with the idea to save the offense for Arizona but Rice caused a change of heart.
Also agree with trying to stay vanilla until Rice forced it. I also thought the whole way through that it looked like a typical Briles team, especially the previous UH go round. Basically the sex pantherâŠ60% of the time it works every timeâŠdesire smells like that to some people, etc. The biggest difference was O line discipline. They may not have dominated but we also didnât have double digit false starts. That really impressed me from a group coached by Briles and Clements.
The run game and run blocking were both lousy in the first half, but seemed to get better in the second.
I wonder what the difference was. Did Riceâs defense simply deflate and get worn down?
We should be able to hold on Briles for another year with a nice raise (if needed), after that the dynamics will definitely change.
This thread has hit bizarro land. We play one game and you guys are already talking about KB leaving. On top of that, the Applewhite haters are bashing him. Coaches are made by their body of work and I donât think we have enough sample size to know how Applewhite will do. We should save these discussions for after the season because they donât create anything good during the season and arenât based on a large enough sample size to make any long-term conclusions.

Well, if this season can go like I hope, then after another good 2019, CMA will possibly be moving on, and I have no doubt Kendal will be offered the HCâing position at UH.
BS. !!
How could Riceâs defense wear down ?
They were only on the field for 20 minutes.

What part is bs? Applewhite and donofrio have a no poach contract so where will the money come from to not only buy them out but offer Kendall enough money to stay?
You canât tap the Tillman money tap forever, especially since he just spent a lot of money on his new toy.
Hold him from who? You really think we can outbid UT? It would probably be the first time in the history of college football that an offensive coordinator was getting paid more than his own head coach.
Two problems with your tirade:
First, TU will not touch anything that even remotely touches upon BABs and the events which transpired at Baylor. That includes all coaches who were there, regardless of their level of nonparticipation.
Second, given Hermanâs problems, TU will not want to revisit another hire from UH. It will stick to poaching coaches from the P5 ranks.

Theyâve already hired one coach from BABs staff.

I canât picture Kliff taking a step back without getting another shot with a G5 school as head coach first.

In Q1 Rice was loading the box to stop the run and our receivers did a great job of dropping passes resulting in mostly 3 and out. In Q2 the receivers started catching passes.

If Kliff is dumped, I see him going to OC of Zona before coming here.
Tech is a very hard place to win.
Who cares. Enjoy the season. Weâll find the next guy
