To me the key is flexibility.

On offense take what they give you. Do not try to force anything. They back into coverage, run. The stack the line pass.

On D we will need to stop the run but adjust as needed. Our pass D has been much better since the 1st half of ECU. We will need more of that. Snappy tackling in the flats like last game but we do not want to give up the big play as some want to throw all caution to the wind. Gamble for ints if there is someone behind you, that is OK. And rush rush rush.

And don't assume UH will do this or that and end up being "surprised." Let's surprise them! 8)
Go Ponies!!
Beat whoever it is we are playing!!

Kolb doesn't force anything... 3 INTS, and those were skipped passes off the receivers hands.

Last year Kevin was trying too hard and forcing things... not this year.

Blitzing doesn't work very well either because so many of our plays are quick release. Snap - Pass! Zing!

Your best bet is to try and keep the ball away from the offense via ball control.


Thanks for the advice...we will get it to PB and let him know that inside information...psst...Houston has a good QB...I am sure he will be shocked
