I think if I were a coach (which is probably 1/354 reasons that I'm not) I'd have my guys face 7-8 defenders in practice to prep for teams like Houston that make it feel that way.
I was in college in 1992. I got married in 1993.
Tennessee is in real trouble. They weren't known for being an offensive powerhouse this season and Houston has largely been able to handle whatever it throws at them, and their defense, which is their strength, outside of a few minutes largely hasn't been able to stop Houston. That's a bad recipe for them.
I can’t root for anyone other than Houston. There can only be one.
Teams when Houston's doing their thing on D but also scoring.
That was a goal tend. It's not 'close' if the ball is headed down.

I find myself liking Sampson more and more.
He's a bit like Saban. In that last time out when asked about how things are going and he just says something like 'well, it worked but they'll go off for 10 in no time'.
He knows how this thing goes.

Houston plays suffocating defense. We play good at times but Houston is at another level.
The whole “cheater” narrative is so stupid and overblown too.
It takes some luck.
Houston wasn't in that position a year ago.
And before anyone says it, they play about 8 deep, with three starters at 30ish minutes including in bye games.
Iowa state needs to get back to this hardcore defense that Houston is playing. It really faded this year compared to previous years.
It was a lot easier to hate him when he had an OU on his shirt.
Tugler and Francis >>>>>>>> than Jackson and Chat on the defensive end.
