Go Herd!

They're going with the "Throwback" uniforms, probably a counter to the green helmets in '08

So 3rd &11, 3 man rush, no pressure, TD!!!

This sucks so bad on many levels. How many time has the herd D given up HUGE plays playing soft. We are NOT a good zone team a all.

Pretty sad when there announcers are speechless over that rediculous call.  Screwed twice there.  Cannot use replay for that call, and he was within five yards.

Unfreakinbelievable!!

He didn't come immediately back in bounds anyway.

He ran up the field, out of bounds a good 3 or 4 steps.

I wasn't either, but I guess there are certain circumstances that can be.

He didn't come immediately back in bounds anyway.

He ran up the field, out of bounds a good 3 or 4 steps.

Natural motion. He had to overcome inertia to get back on course. It was the right call. I don't know about the whole review thing, but I'm sure it would have been good officiating if it had benefited us. If the roles were reversed, I doubt anyone here would have said "Houston got screwed!".

They should win this challenge.  That was a great spot for us or horrible spot for them, depending on your preference.  Kase needs to warm up.

So much for our defense getting stops and our offense keeping them off the field. 

At this rate, our D won't get tired.  :56 scoring drives shouldn't drain them too much.

We're defenseless. Missing the sack on the 3rd & 10 deep in their territory was huge.

Yeah, we've got to get off the field on third and long. I'm afraid we won't put houston in too many of those.

Houston's decided that with a little pressure that we are in trouble on O.  No more "soft" coverage and 3 man rushes.

We need to fill hamricks email about the tv coverage.  This is bull%^&*.

No kidding...I like being able to get All Access but the "Make Noise" graphics they put on the screen when we are on offense, don't come off until after the ball in snapped. Kind of hard to see out offense that way. All around, All Access is just a terrible product. free ESPN3 good...$79 All Access bad.

We NEVER run 4 WRS.  If we are ever split wide we have 3 WR and 1 TE in.  I get sick of that.  We have so much depth at WR why can't our coaches EVER run out a formation with 4 or 5 TRUE WRs.

Wow.  Terrible play call to end the half.  Makes me sick!!!  Kicking a field goal would have been more of a gamble than that run up the gut.

Horrible.

Whoever is ultimately responsible for that call should give back their pay check for the day.

I bought it so i could at least get all the games and not knowing how long firstrowsports stays up before the feds bust them. Problem for us out of towners is there is no other option...even the free firstrowsports is running the same feed and graphics. I guess I should have flown to houston, Pitiful.

We can't control the All Access feed at Houston.  I am just happy I can at least see the game eventhough the picture is not the best.  I get sick of the Make Noise graphic.  The feed for the UofL game was terrible and it was on ESPN3.  It is th eequipment that is used.  I am sure DShoe can tell more.

Even if we had a contract with ESPN it would be a guarantee we would be able to see every game.  I haven't missed a game this year and as of right now...it looks like I will be able to watch all 12 games either in person or at home.

Miserable defense.  Stop blitzing up the gut.  You need more coverage against a team like this.  The ball is not intended to be in his hand long enough to reach him with blitzes from slow players.  They wouldn't score 10 points on Alabama.

NOPE no D. The same screen has worked for about 250 yds today. Then 18 yds to the endzone.

5 minute herd drive answered by a 20 second coug drive.

The Coug's are good on O.

One thing noticable with CK on the short passes & screens: his passes are put precisely on location so that the receivers can run after the catch. Mark of a well practiced team.

I feel like we've been robbed with AJ not playing all season. I think flippant decisions and poor play calling was our downfall to this point. Now we have the guy playing QB that should have been playing all year trying to get his game up to speed. It's almost comical when you think about it.

Alright, where are all of those guys who bashed AJ all spring and summer...... So many people on this board love to say..... You heard it here first..... Stepmom and make your admissions

weird....I dont recall a lot of people bashing AJ?  BS Dshoe, BS....  Whats up with the chip on your sholder????   I remember you coming on here in the recent past complainging about people coming on after something they predicted came true and reminding everyone about it.

Yet, here you are doing essentially the same thing....calling out something after the fact....act like youve been there before Dshoe....ha hah

He's a tough kid. He's definitely not afraid to lower his head or shoulder for the extra yardage.

I feel like we've been robbed with AJ not playing all season. I think flippant decisions and poor play calling was our downfall to this point. Now we have the guy playing QB that should have been playing all year trying to get his game up to speed. It's almost comical when you think about it.
Its not just this season it was all of last year two.  Hell Doc had him 4th string behind Sullivan.  Unfreaking real.

wow I made two posts on here and houston got the ball back and scored more points....sheesh....

is there any outside chance that this will make an impression on Legg and Doc that we need to be capable of scoreing more points if we get behind in a game like this.....jesus....

I also have to say that we would be a much better team if Doc had started with AJ at the beginning of the season....

The Cato AJ thing shows me that the coaches dont know how to evaluate talent well.....or so it seems....

I put my faith and Doc that he knew what was best with the QB selection when the season started but now I can see that Doc is still learning how to coach and how to evaluate QBs and how to figure out what kind of offense we need to win....

Im happy with the defense...and some of the young guys are awesome...we should have a good defense in years to come....

Doc and legg need to learn on the job fast....this offense isnt not exactly what the doctor ordered....imo

You've picked the right name......we want Houston to finish as high in the polls as they can......the score isn't their fault.  Marshall needs to keep working and not worry about the score in this game, we need to get to a BOWL!!!!

I felt like AJ should have started last year. I didn't feel like he should have started this year. He has better physical tools, but he plays pretty scatter-brained. It's not totally his fault, though. Michael Vick couldn't succeed in this offense with this line and with this OC.

I said starting with Rice was going to be a case of confirmation bias. People who suspected AJ was better got to see him play against two weak defenses. Many teams allowing 23 points per game would not be very good, but Houston can outscore people.

Plays scatter-brained?!?!?!..... What games have you been watching?????  I hate to call someone out, but your post is MUCH more scatter-brained than ANY of AJ's play, this year or Last.  He looks today just like he looked vs So Miss last year before he got hurt......

Rank us somewhere between 100-110 in the country.  Close to the bottom 10.  We are light years away from being a top 50 team.  Once Curry is gone we might not win a game next year.  He won us our games this year.

Yeah, you labeled Kueck a "brilliant offense mind" too - before he shipped out for the HS ranks.

Style points my @ss .. I hope we can come up with a team that can up it up on these pukes next time in.

The boos that rang out at the Joan at the Rice game ... proves our fan base is not as dumb as the this "coaching staff" thinks.

Well, after the bonehead call to end the half, I said I'd be happy if we kept within 35 . . . .  Okay . . . officially not happy now.

To say I'm not happy would be an understatement.  But, on the other hand, a part of me quit caring a long time ago.  And THAT is what I REALLY hate.

 . . . OH, thank goodness.  Switch to ND game.  Saves us some of the pain of seeing the rest.

Playing a tougher schedule has only served to provide excuses to those that were certain that was the biggest reason for our performances and record.

Kueck was . . . and IS a brilliant offense mind.  Anyone with any insight KNOWS that his hands were tied by Snyder.  Larry stepped down to coach high school for several reasons---and good ones too.  But it wasn't because of his lack of abilities.  Snyder sandbagged what Larry could have done here.  Sorry most folks don't realize that.
