OSU losing to Houston

[CaliHornia]

Late in the 4th, 25-34. I thought about going to this game tonight, actually. It sounds like it's been pretty good.

I'm not surprised they lost because Houston has a pretty decent QB and a decent little offense.

OSU was driving late with about 2 minutes left and had the ball on the Houston 10 or so. I stepped away from the computer though and had turned off the radio, so I never figured out what happened.

UH has a very good offense & a helluva coach in Art Briles. He'll turn them into a TCU type team if he gets the support from the Ath. Depart. I'm glad they beat that negative ass recruiting Gundy & Ok. Lite.

OK State's defense was porous all night. While the stats are similar (UH 510, OSU ~480 total yards) UH ran 25-30 more plays than we did. And according to Coach Gundy "They outhit us in the las t8 mins of the 4th".

We did have a chance to win though. We were ~ the UH 5 yard line, 4th and 1 or 2, down by 9. Went for it instead of kicking the FG. The pass was batted down at the goal line. When asked why he went for it, gundy said we needed the points, we couldn't stop them on D so we needed all the points we could get (paraphrased).

We again drove back the to UH 2, 4th down. We tried to run it in and like the rest of the night, our running game had no success.

Held UH to a punt from there and our return man got popped on the run-back and fumbled the ball. UH recovered and ran out the clock.

It was a great game to listen to, would have been great to see. I've been saying all last week this game will tell us if we are any good. It looks like we are improving greatly on 'O' but the 'D' took a night off. No doom and gloom from me, but I'm glad this is an off week...

I'm glad they beat that negative ass recruiting Gundy & Ok. Lite. I don't get this... I didn't realize that people thought that way about him. Would you elaborate?

[CaliHornia]

I'm not sure where that would come from either. By all accounts, Gundy seems to be a good guy.

Well, it comes from multiple guys that we've recruited that OSU has also recruited. Mainly, BS about falsified depth charts, coaching changes, etc. Its actually common knowledge, so I'm surprised y'all didn't know. But ask any coach from any school in the Big XII which school is the worst at negative recruiting & OSU would probably be an unanimous choice.

Gee, I'd say OU, particularly given that we routinely hear sh!t about each of our schools from Texas kids that choose the place.

I have never figured out why coaches, when down by 9 or 10 pts, like to go for it on 4th down instead of kicking a chipshot FG. Make the kick, and kick an onside. If you get it, then you can at least take some shots downfield for a TD.
