USM that good or Houston just overrated?

Post by Lebanese4Life »

USM defense looked like the one we faced and I'd love to see them play in the Liberty Bowl and see how they stack up against an SEC opponent. Houston played nobody this year up until today. Their offense looked awful against a good D.

Houston was overrated all season long, you can't be legit and get pushed to the limit by UCLA, UTEP and La Tech.

They both beat us so I think UH with all the Sumlin talk was just way too distracted.

Houston is overrated, but Southern Miss's defense definitely is that good.

Beating us at home is no great accomplishment, especially since our QB did everything possible to hand them those games. Hell UAB sliced Southern Miss up and UTEP, UCLA, at La Tech sliced Houston up.

Today's game does show that SMiss is really good. And no Houston is not a top 10 team in the country. But they are very easily top 25 and maybe a top 15- they just had a really bad day. Remember UH just b*tch smacked Tulsa 48-16 at Tulsa last week. Tulsa's only other losses this year- Oklahoma, Oklahoma St., Boise St.

That's ridiculous. People are talking about Fedora bolting town, too. They just handle the distraction better. I honestly think Southern Miss is the better overall team ... in part because Southern Miss's quarterback is MUCH better than people give him credit for.

Glad UH embarassed themselves today instead of embarassing the entire conference in January! They were exposed by a much better team today!

Went to the UH SMU game. Horrid fans. So happy to see them exposed. I will say though, beating Tulsa the way they did was pretty impressive.

You are ridiculous. UH may have found out that about the report that Sumlin was headed to aTm tomorrow and they may have just quit on him. Who knows but it is not ridiculous.
