Will be curious to see if McNeal can get to 1000 yards given he's halfway there now.

Interesting perspective. Plus running the ball usually takes pressure off the QBs.

Would someone please forward the UTEP stats to JJ? Maybe we could throw the ball just a little less in Cougar Town.

262 yards and 4 TDs, jeez

Seriously, if McNeal starts to burn the Coug D, then let's control the clock and keep their offense off the field. We cannot afford to go 3 and out, and run like 15 seconds off the clock.

It isn't just our coaches, but I am amazed at the speed with which coaches (college and pro) seem to abandon the run in games these days. Seems like every coach treats a 10 point deficit in the second quarter as if it were a 14 point deficit with 10 minutes left.

Mike Price may have saved his job by bucking the trend and doing the opposite.

...in Cougar Town.

I keep missing that Courtney Cox show. Is it any good? I know she's worth watching.

UTEPs QB did well vs. UH also. RUN and PASS is what we need.
