Kolb has 3 INT's on the season, and all three of them were passes that hit the recievers in the hands. All 3 INT's have been the receivers fault, not Kevin's.


Again.. the guy speaks for himself.

The #1 key for beating Houston is pressuring Kolb, hitting Kolb, sacking Kolb.

This game I think will be won or lost in the air for our D. We need to get INTs and break up passes. By getting to Kevin and making him force throws our Team as a chance.

Willis will put up points but this game lies in the hands of the D and PB.

To beat us, you only have to be able to deal with one thing: Speed.

If you can handle speed, you can handle us, if you can't, we'll light up the scoreboard. Defensively, we've been inconsistent, at best.

You really shouldn't blatantly condone the drug use of your players.

This saturday is going to be an all out air attack. The game will be decided on two things, whether rogers and co can knock down Kolb early and often and can our DBs make the tackles. UH is not going to run on us, every team has said they will and every team has had it shut down. Very quickly will their game plan become onesided and we need to actually put the cuffs on Kolb when that happens or else we are in for some trouble.

It's real simple. We've got the three fastest guys you've faced all year. Two wideouts and one that splits between WR and RB. Can you handle speed?

didn't SMU play a team last year who came to Ford with speed...oh yes, just a couple of weeks ago I recall hearing the coach of that team espousing just how his boys pulled off an admittedly big win at the time, "Speed, baby!"

You can forget one thing...

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.
