Bowl Prep: Louisiana vs Houston 12/23/22

If our OL can open holes for the running game I think we have a really good shot.

Actually Cougar fans will be sending you thank you cards to Des for every running play he calls. The Coogs pass defense is beyond atrocious. Against Kansas they gave up touchdowns on 7 straight possessions. I thought this was horrible but as the season went on they were even worse. Against SMU the defense gave up touchdowns on the first 9 SMU possessions. Receivers were continually open by 10 to 20 yards. On the 10th possession SMU tried to establish the run and had to punt . After that they went back to passing and scored touchdowns on the next 2 possessions. The run defense is not bad. The pass defense is very bad. Will be interesting to see how Des game plans. Anything less than 40 pass attempts is a mistake. Last year Miami tried to hire our dc and we gave him a big raise. His stock has fallen a bunch since then.

Gonna be a tough matchup. Houston was 7-5 but lost 3 games in OT to UTSA, Texas Tech, and Tulane

Well, UL was 6-6 with 3 losses to ULM, USA and Troy that should have been wins putting us at 9-3. Interestingly, we finally get a bowl games an AAC team with our worse record and could only get a MAC or CUSA team with 10 and 11 win seasons. Should be a well matched game, although judging from their boards, many think a game against a Sun Belt team that is 6-6 is beneath them. They won't call us Louisiana or UL, just disparagingly U La La and ULL. Looks like we will have to earn their respect with a solid victory.

Good thing is. Des has coached in a bowl game and won it already. We are playing decent football here lately. I look for us to win this one.

As long as after the game they are calling us WINNER, I don't care what another team's fans call us.

You would think but go read the bowl thread on the AAC board. Tulane fans acting like they've been top 10 for a decade and making fun of USM's "small" stadium. Really hope all these AAC clowns lose all their bowls

Tulane built a Texas high school size stadium and they are calling USM's small?

The Alcoholic Anonymous bus sounds extremely boring.
