Game Week: Utah vs Houston

I really want to want to go, but….

Heads up so no surprises at work tomorrow.
CBS Bottom 25 is out.
Don’t agree on (# 25) UH on this list.
Just 1 spot above FAU (# 24) & Herman is ridiculous.

UH & UTEP had a Dana. It turned sour.
What is UTSA & Rice’s excuse ?

“five and a half seasons overseeing the offense, Ludwig’s time with the program has come to an end.”

Some of our posters seem to be Herman worshippers and seemed to think he was the best coach ever and we would still be playing in New Years bowls had he stayed. It’s funny how well he did with Levine’s recruits and has been mediocre everywhere else.

Per Houston Athletics X site, UH is wearing black for the Kansas St. game on November 2, 2024, so I may get my wish to see TDECU in a sea of red.

Didn’t think Florida States only win would be against Cal, but a win against Charleston Southern is looking interesting right now, maybe a one win season for a 10th ranked team.

Endzones have the script writing, so will the uniforms match the endzone?

Complete sentence.

I’ve been to about 55 practices this fall. I went to every preseason practice save one and have been to M/Tu/W during the season (when the media is allowed). Duarte is there for many, but it’s just us two. No other media member makes the effort.

JayShon Ridgle has made a ton of plays in practice this week. He had two great plays on deep balls on Tuesday that had the entire offense running down to celebrate with him - some real circus catches.

Devan Williams also makes a lot of tough catches, which is why he’s been getting more playing time. I expect Ridgle’s playing time to continue increasing.

Biggest issue I see w Utah - usually great DBs and off ball LBs missing tons of tackles.
Need UTAH to wiff big at the right time.

Loss vs Utah and WF maxing out frosh red shirt games ?
(leaving out the under weight OL/DL)

Makes sense but I hope not.
Lets go all out in last four w last of DH 2 deep & portal one and dones.

Get a win at AZ & then ruin BYUs season .
Baylor better but who knows ?

Any of the QB’s standing out this week? Is Ale getting any good reps?

Do they practice in full pads and actually hit and tackle??

Ale is getting some quality reps. Standing out? :man_shrugging:t3:

Usually shells - helmet and shoulder pads. Not a lot of live tackling during the season - but that’s all of college football.

Ryan, how does UH’s football NIL compare with others in the Big 12? It seems like we must be near the bottom given our deficit funding for many years and relatively low attendance.

Well that, PLUS the fact that we probably don’t have a large enough number of rich fans that likewise give enough of a crap about sports to where they would be willing to fund a large NIL honeypot via their businesses, donations, etc.

I’ve never felt that UH would be a big contender in that regard, and when the USSC issued its NIL decision…I felt certain that it would NOT be good for UH.

I hope I’m wrong about that in the long run.

Thanks for that. Are any of the QB’s progressing?

Practice vs Game QB?
