Houston just scored to pull within 34-27 with 3:30 left in 3rd qtr. Houston had 3 straight possessions where they turned it over. Navy running really well.
Last time they were distracted by a pending coach's departure, we popped them by 50+. God how I loved that game. But I left stadium wishing we beat them by more - a lot more.This loss, and Pee Wee Herman's imminent departure to either LSU or UT will provide a distraction for kitty.
We'll beat Tulsa 100-6 next Saturday so no worries here.
I thought you were done posting here. Welcome back! Did you ever send that application to Tulsa Welding School? I know you went to Coog High, so if you need some help signing it, let me know.
Houston can't stop the run. Go look at OU game stats. Subtract Baker Mayfield's "rushing" yards where he danced around in the pocket and you'll see that OU averaged 5 to 6 yards per rush. Riley just did a terrible job calling plays. Can't wait to see Brewer, Flanders and hopefully a healthy O-Line run through Houston next weekend!Houston just scored to pull within 34-27 with 3:30 left in 3rd qtr.

OH. Congrats!Are you stupid or something? We have the #1 rush defense in FBS.
OH. Congrats!
I apologize for being mistaken. I read that Navy rushed for 300+ yards and 5 yards per attempt and thought that was bad for houstons defense. I'm so dumb sometimes.
I'm new to football. When OU had success rushing, they were in that triple option formation also...?Triple Option is different from your typical rushing offense. Tulsa won't be able to move the ball against us, especially on the ground.

This is how you have to play Houston. Last year he torched us (and everyone else) because people kept overpressuring him in the pocket and it would leave gaps between their guards and tackles for him to run through, with his receivers being basically used as downfield blockers for him.Houston looks average right now. Not sure if it's the weather or scheme. Navy is playing almost all zone in pass coverage and rushing just 4 with an emphasis of keeping Ward, Jr. in the pocket.
Oh, and Iowa State is smoking OSU right now in Stilly. Iowa State looks to be running a playbook of about 5 plays: screen right, screen left, handoff, QB read option, deep cross...
Didn't Navy knock off Houston's perfect season last year as well? I was bummed to see Houston lose to those guys this year. I would rather see us beat them this week, or for them to go undefeated and have an American team in the CFP.
