A wrastlin' clothesline on the gridiron

Coogs fall in thriller on failed 2pt try

Article By: Yragha

HOUSTON, TX - at least for a week, the offense wasn't offensive. Coach Rags hinted this past week to us after practice that redshirt freshman Caleb McMickle was getting some first string reps but ultimately held off benching senior QB Donovan Smith and could that decision have lit a fire? The stat line says, QUITE POSSIBLY after his 25-29 for over 450yds in what is without a doubt his most impressive performance to date.

Of course, on the other hand, it was another week with another loss for the Houston Cougars falling to 2-6 after such a promising start to the season and the losing streak has now reached six after the loss in OT to Kansas St 49-48.

"Is what it is, we made some tweaks, evidently not enough. I'm more worried about our defense at this point. We can't stop anyone. All we needed was for someone to step up for us with a minute and some change left in regulation and we couldn't even do that. We let them drive, what 75, 80 yards? Unacceptable. I've said it before, I'll say it again til we're (or I'm literally) blue in the face, our offense is dangerous when Donovan's not throwing to other folks but our defense is just D-fenseless and to be frank, it's annoying the crap out of me and you can quote me on that. Go Coogs!"
