As I stated elsewhere … our corners need to cover more consistently AND TACKLE!!! … the skills are there because we don’t recruit chop liver … the teaching techniques could well be lacking so we shall see if the week off helped solidify our deficiencies at the corners …

Pass rush is the same story … against TT it was none existent …

Tulsa basically should have the same offense as the one Kendal is running since both coaches were OCs under Art … thing is Tulsa’s offense is still chasing its tail or going through a revolving door …

Hopefully it WILL NOT FIND ITSELF against our iffy secondary and iffy pass rush …

Even these guys see that D’Onofrio is wasting Ed Oliver’s final year! So frustrating…I equate it to someone handing you $10 Million and the only thing you know what to do with it is to burn it for heat!

He had nfl caliber talent at Miami and the defense was still crap.

read this article. their cb’s and safeties had tackling problems as well.

its clearly coaching.

If they start this RS-Freshman. I hope we bring pressure. Not delayed, but at least 7 in the box, and the occasional corner blitz from the blind side!

I agree. Our offense is explosive enough to take some defensive risks early. Let’s see if this new kid is even capable of beating us with his arm. We cannot allow for him to stay comfortable back there and build confidence.

this is an enduring UH problem. secondary getting burned and not tackling always seems to be an issue.

Student section should be lively. Already seen a few kids puking.

how bout them uniforms :slight_smile:

Just like the way we did last time we faced a freshman QB! Oh wait, we didn’t do that and that guy threw for 605 yards against us. Let’s hope we learned from that and bring the pressure!

Hope the student section is rowdy. Plenty of orange garage spots available an hour before kick

Tough getting from the burbs to TDECU for Thursday games but at least it is at 7 pm and not 6 pm

Bold prediction: We rush for over 200 yards tonight.

Idk. I’m worn out by the whole ordeal. Here’s to hoping we get multiple on defense this game.

Betting service says: In Tulsa’s last game, the Golden Hurricane had 32-16 first down and 403-300 yard edges vs Temple but lost 31-17. Tulsa had 5 TO’s and two of them were returned for touchdowns. We feel that gives them some slight value here. Lean Tulsa. Houston by 15.

Where is everyone? The TSU game seemed more packed than this…
