This game was perfect. We played against a good FCS team. Do some of you really think HCWF is a dum @#$S? By reading some comments evidently some do. This past game is great because it gives our entire coaching staff a real gauge on where we are right now. As a coach I love having tapes to evaluate every position and every facets of our offense and defense. I never expected a flawless game and neither did HCWF. You build on from the SFA game. Good/great team progress through the season. We are at the level that we are right now. This is not a cliche but reality. We are clearly not a CFP team right now. I never expected that. Does that mean we won’t be later on? Absolutely not. rice o roni will present some different challenges and again this will be a game that will help us progress. Every coach on HCWF staff is working their butts off toward progress. This is why they coach. A coach is a teacher first and foremost. I know it is hard for all of us to be patient but what other choices do we have?
In our next game I want to see some “fundamentals” progress from our game against SFA. That I am going to be glued to the screen for that very reason. This will tell us how our guys are learning. With every new squad comes the “stay tuned” This is where we are.
And just who do you suggest…
The opinions aren’t in a bubble. Last year CWF’s commanded an offense that finished at the bottom of that stat sheet, including 8+ quarters of not scoring an offensive touchdown. That’s the lens fans are looking through. Square peg in a round hole type of play calling. We all hope that it gets better. UHs greatest success was when it had an innovative offense, the veer, run and shoot, the no playbook, air raid, and whatever Tom Herman was called.
Night and day difference IMO
I kinda feel like everything expressed in this thread has been expressed in other threads already.
Merge
Anyone with any level of objectivity would understand that yes, there are alot of new players playing together competitively for the first time, yes the offensive line needs time to gel, and yes there will be tweaks and adjustments early on. My concern is in the schematics of the offense itself. Hopefully there is alot of playbook left to open because if not it will be generic, predictable and ultimately ineffective. Helton 2.0. Others on this board argued otherwise, but no Tulane fan that I know (including those on their board) had an overly positive opinion of Nagle, and were indifferent to his departure when CWF got the job here.
It will filter itself soon…
Texas Tech has a lot of new portal players
Why were they able to drop 60+
I want to say that it was a vanilla playbook (hopefully it was) but I realize that I have said that after the first game of the last three seasons. I also hope that the Oline play improves.
Fair enough but when the qb is aware enough that improvement is needed, that’s a mature QB
go coogs

They played the worst of the worst…
Just some facts, do what you want with them:
- UH started nine new transfers on offense.
- One of the two returning starters was Koby Young, who had played 11 collegiate snaps of offense previously.
- They rotated center and RG all night, mostly series-to-series.
- UH’s best WR did not catch a ball.
- The guy who would have been the starting RB was lost for the season during game prep.
Changing centers every drive is pretty impossible for an OL, but the point was never about winning the SFA game. It was building for the rest of the season. A ton of guys played on offense, and they now have film on all of them.
How many series did each lineman that played RG and Center, play RG and Center?
They switched every series.
I knew they said that on the broadcast but I couldn’t really tell watching live…
What about tackles?
Both tackles gave up pretty bad open rushes to CW off the edge…
Willie “Values” all 3 phases of the game. To say anything different, You have no clue…
Y’all are tripping… I’m fired up to watch CWF’s Coogs control the TOP…
And we will hit big plays downfield… CW showed he has the arm to do it!
