I wonder if Davis qualified, and can take a medical. Would love to have him back next season!
OH look, a writer talking about how our defense isn’t as bad as everyone thinks and is actually better than Army’s… hmmmmmm.
Wish we actually had our DL for this game. We would crush them.

Nice to see King walking around without much of a limp.
Houston couldn’t quite hold on for the cover as a nine-point dog against Memphis but is still an amazing 14-1-1 ATS its last 16 times out as an underdog on the betting line. The Cougars also scored at least 31 points every game this season and hit the 40-point mark 10 times.
Ummm…we’re playing Saturday, not Friday
Lockheed Martin Armed Forces Bowl: Houston vs. Army
While TCU waits to play in the Cheez-It Bowl in Phoenix next Wednesday, you can get one final local taste of college football for the year courtesy of the Lockheed Martin Armed Forces Bowl at Amon G. Carter Stadium. The Houston Cougars, making their fifth appearance in the bowl game, will face off against the Army West Point Golden Knights, the defending champions who are making their third appearance.

They pick the Coogs in a close one.
Houston: Sophomore WR Marquez Stevenson
Other than perhaps King, no player benefited more from an offensive coordinator change than Stevenson. The Shreveport sophomore went from 36 yards receiving to an inch away from the 1,000-yard mark. Stevenson accumulated 100 receiving yards in five games, and posted 11 all-purpose touchdowns.
After reading previews of this game, listening to the Scott and Holman Pawdcast Preview, and considering my own thoughts, I would be very surprised if we win this game.
A look at this game from our perspective…
From the Army perspective…
This Army team will be very motivated; a chance at 11 wins and a third straight bowl win. Having saying that, their eight wins in a row were against very poor competition, their best win included one of the worst Navy teams in recent history, so… I believe even Houston would have gone undefeated against those same teams Army played. It is a really bad schedule, but even acknowledging that, Army presents a difficult match up.
If we can’t stop their run up the middle, this will be a very painful game to watch. Who here wants to watch 7-10 minute drives where Army will just pound the ball between the tackles, where our defense is completely unable to stop them? As much as I hate to say it and as much as I want to see us win a bowl game after two straight bowl losses and as much as I want CMA to get his first bowl win as a HC, I see us significantly struggling with this Army team.
We should be able to score however. That said, as long as we score first and score with each possession, we win.
Why would there be a meltdown on Coogfans when most seem to agree that this game is a meaningless exhibition not worth risking injury for future NFL players? I know there will be a meltdown if they lose but I hope those complaining about Major going 0-3 in bowl games are not those onboard with players missing a “meaningless” game.
I don’t like the Coogs’ chances in this one. Injuries, absences, interim DC and up-in-the-air OC / OL coaches for the Coogs and playing against a very disciplined, motivated Army squad – will be a tough battle much like the SDSU game.
CMA best have the Coogs up and ready to play or Army will roll through them like Sherman through Georgia.
I don’t know what game you watched but Georgia whipped Sherman’s Aggies in the 2009 Independence Bowl. Or were you talking about the Blue-Gray game?
With all the injuries being up for the game wont’ make the difference.
We also have the option to put some guys that play Guard at DT. We don’t want to set 230 pound Willie Smith up to fail. Just tell them to hold the point of attack like they do on offense.
If UH can’t get up and compete vs my brothers-in-arms that is just another excuse. UH should rise above Army in talent alone even with the injuries. Army is not loaded with top shelf talent but they are disciplined, motivated and well coached
Houston’s Bryson Smith (hamstring) is out for Saturday’s Armed Forces Bowl against Army. Scout-team quarterback Ike Ogbogu will serve as backup to starter Clayton Tune.

Guess my source was right about Bryson.
