Actually not an awful point.....

Rhule, Fuentes, and Herman are all on poach lists...... Just depends on what opens up I guess.

We shall see though

That is outstanding. That also makes the stark difference between first and second half offense even more concerning.

It is possible to note the improvements while also questioning the inability to make changes in the game.

Hey a sucky conference means we'll win at least 10 games that year.


Yeah that's true. I would love to see this team get more than 8 wins just to prove that June is a turd sandwich.

their D adjusts and we don't know how to handle it. Plus they didn't need to change anything on their O as our D is totally inept.

too may of the guys on this roster are conditioned to losing and don't respond well to adversity. Chad alluded to that in this week's presser and mentioned they won't be part of the team going forward. Would not be surprised to see him run some guys off after this year. He's got a challenge on his hands to keep up the morale on a team that is getting whipped week after week

Houston's defensive line and linebackers are absolutely DESTROYING our offensive line.

We are small and timid.

This might very well be a four to six year rebuild. We have some nice pieces on offense but the defense is just flat out God awful and apparently second half adjustments are a foreign language to our staff.
Back off Warchild seriously.

Art Briles is still building a Defense but he outscores his opponents. That's what we are going to have to do

When talent starts improving it is amazing how fast it can happen. We will go from two or three solid players to two or three weak spots in 24 months.
