Houston - 8
Wow can believe that, fav by 8
Well if youâve seen their performances against Ecu, Tulsa, and uconn it makes definitely makes sense.
Vegas are no dummies. We are just as good as they are (or better) but at home.
I have UH winning 48-21
line just moved UH -9
Yeah, UH -9. But thatâs the early line. Itâs frequently off by a couple of points, but even so, -7 against the #20 team is pretty impressive.
Trying to get bettors to take USF
This will be the toughest pass defense we have played year to date. Fortunately we have a QB and a receiver that help us be a solid running team as well and that is USFâs weakness.
USF has an average passing attack but the thing to look out for is they have a good receiving tight end and good 6-3 and 6-2 receivers. Other than TSU and Tulsa, the top receiver against us has been 6-2 or taller.
Speaking of height, I havenât seen anything about why Isaiah Johnson missed the game. Did he get hurt near the end of the ECU game and Iâm just having a brain fart not remembering it?
re: IJ
I donât know, I assumed during the game it was about defensive alignment against the option.
If UH plays like they did against Arizona theyâll beat USF. If they play like they did against Tulsa and Navy itâll be problematic. You canât keep depending on the 2nd half to get it together.
Luckily UH normally plays up to their opponents so I would look for them to be ready for this one, but it should be tight.
I believe Isiah has a back issue.
If UH offense plays like that [Tulsa 3 qtrs] and defense like TTU and 1st half Navy while USF sticks to their season resume, take the Under! It could be a 10-10 game in the 4th quarter.
USF will be a very tough game, even here. I expect them to come out and play their best game of the year. But I also expect our Coogs to come out pumped and play hard. It should be a great gameâŠ
Teams usually struggle after playing Navy. Sore legs and all. Also, they have receivers and weâre suspect. Interesting spread.
