If Arizona fans don’t remember Oliver from last September’s 19-16 home loss to Houston—maybe because you blocked it out?—you can re-live his 11-tackle performance that also included a forced fumble and a blocked kick in the video below.

Oliver has promised not to go through the motions his junior year at Houston, even with the NFL awaiting. He played through five games in 2017 with a nagging knee injury, but still impressed enough to claim the Outland Trophy.
“There’s a lot to be accomplished, so you’ve got to watch me,” he said, speaking more like a guy trying to sell tickets than inflate his ego.
“I want to do everything I did, and be healthy the whole year. I want to show people what they missed last year if I hadn’t gotten hurt. They saw a glimpse of Ed Oliver, a sneak peek. I could go forward pretty fast, but couldn’t move side-to-side. That’s what took away from my game.
“I’m not on cruise control, but I am going to enjoy my time. Once I leave, I can’t come back. I can’t put on that red and white and step on that field. The first couple of months I’ll probably miss it and coach Blum’s voice.”
HOUSTON - Ed Oliver is one of the biggest names in college football. A potential Heisman Trophy finalist, Oliver has lived up to the billing he came into UH with as one of the top prospects in the country. With his NFL future to begin after his junior season, learn more about this horse-riding defensive star lineman in the “Cougar Closeup” video above.

The 50 most important college players in Texas in 2018 — No. 1: Houston defensive lineman Ed Oliver
The Impact
Oliver is the most important player in the state, and it’s not that close. Houston’s entire defense is built around his production.
Anybody catch the Ed bit on ESPN college football final? I was watching the program, wife called, got distracted and walked back in just as it was ending.
Nevermind i’m getting old and out of touch. Didn’t realize you could rewind tv these days.
