Being from Chicago, I have only been to two games this year, Tulane and Memphis.

After the game at the Superdome, I walked out feeling a light switch had been turned on in the second half. The offense moved the ball and scored most of its points. Even defense showed strength and held the Green Wave for much of the last two quarters. The post game impression was positive.

At homecoming, the Memphis team ran well and our defense didn't look good. Despite the team's young age, it was harder to be optimist. We couldn't get close on the scoreboard, while Memphis could control the clock.

Candidly, I thought JJ would have found two or three wins already in this conference.

Any word on Bo Levi's injury?

Teach them how to play the game and how to play within the scheme you are trying to develop. If you recruit well, develop players and have a good scheme on offense & defense winning will take care of itself.

Saying you will teach kids how to win means nothing.


Agree. Talent = wins
