Houston, You have a problem: BYU vs UH

[Jeff Lebowski]

Who deleted BigotOnProwl's post? It was there, then it was gone, then it came back again, only this time in the wrong order. For the purposes of continuity and to help the transition between the original post and my humorous response, can one of the mods please replace it in the correct sequential order? Thank you.

He is doing it himself. Not sure why. Must be a Houston-style way of posting.

BYU fans won't outnumber UH fans. We might make up 20-25%, but no where near 50%. Anecdotaly however, I got my tickets for free from a UH alum (season ticket holder) who wasn't going to attend the game.

anecdotally? is it possible that you really didnt get those tickets?

We are going

Dave Rose's alma mater is undefeated in 2013. They are likely the worse 5-0 team you will ever see, though. BYU opened as a 9 point favorite, and has already been bet up to 9.5-10.0.

Expect a big day from Taysom on Saturday.

Does anyone here remember the Big Kat? It was a Kit Kat bar, but it was just one segment of a normal Kit Kat supersized to the size of a normal candy bar. I went away for a while but it has returned with the name Kit Kat Extra Krispy. It is delicious and personally I prefer the name Big Kat.

Hmmmm...Strong statement We'll see about that...we are going to teach you what Texas football is all about...Houston style

He said Houston style... not the "hairy-legged women and liberal fruitcake" style.

Doesn't that distort the ratio of chocolate to cookie? I enjoy the ratio offered by a normal Kit Kat bar, so I don't think I'd like the Big Kat.

I never thought much of the Kit Kat until I found myself with a bit of a sweet tooth on a Christmas Eve in Cardiff. I stopped at a little mart and they had all kinds of strange candies, but I settled on what would be the equivalent of the Big Kat referenced here. It was fantastic!

Whenever I hear "Big Cat" my first thought is of Andres Galarraga. At first I thought that it would be pretty cool of this Big Cat is really Andres Galarraga posting on our board, but in rethinking it, I would rather my memories of Andres Galarraga be of a home run hitter with a bizarre batting stance as opposed to a crappy message board poster with a bizarre batting stance.

Houston style.

I had a few Houston games on the DVR and I was bored last night.

After watching them a few keys to the game:

First on Defense:

Short handed Pressure
Houston plays 4 wide on just about every snap which means we will be playing a lot of Nickel or 2-5-4 coverage with KVN coming up to the line. We have to get pressure with 3 or 4 guys rushing the passer. Houstons O-line has only allowed 5 sacks all season. It is a typical Air Raid offense they get rid of the ball quick and attack the vertical seams.

Take away the safety valve:
Running back Ryan Jackson has been a nice option for O'Korn. He stays in to block and generally releases late. He is a shifty back that we need to keep our eye on. HE is also no slouch running out of the shotgun racking up 400 yards rushing and 5 yards per carry. The good news is we are a zone dominant team and with zone principals most players will be facing the line of scrimmage and able to read a short dump off pass fairly quickly. Man defense is usually where you get torched.

Deontay Greenberry
FOr those that don't stalk 16 year olds, Greenberry was one of the top WR prospects in the country 2 years ago. He had offers from everyone and committed to Notre Dame. Only to flip at the last minute and wind up at Houston which shocked the recruiting world. Normally I don't worry about WRs as our defensive scheme (cover 2) does a nice job against them. Greenberry is different because he plays the slot and we don't have a true nickel corner. Which means a 6'3 200 pound future high NFL draft pick will be matched up on Blake Morgan and Spencer Hadley. This gives me flashbacks to Justin Ena covering Ashley Lelie back in 2001. Again we primarily play zone but they will run him right down the seam which will put a ton of pressure on Bills and Sorenson to make the right decision. Remember Brandin Cooks of OSU played a similar position last year and killed us.

Turnovers:
Turnovers are always key. Houston does not turn the ball over. O'Korn has 1 int on the year and they have 4 turnovers total. BYUs defense has scored in 3 straight games. We will need to keep up that trend and make O'korn uncomfortable in the pocket so he forces some bad throws. I think this is the game KVN gets his strip sack fumble. You don't drop back 45 times against BYU and not get hit a lot.

It's possible but it's also unpossible

I knew Dallas would have Houston's back
