Coogs enter year 2 under coach Rags
Article By: As the University of Houston Cougars embark on Year 2 under head coach Rags, optimism is brewing around the football program. After finishing last season with a disappointing 3-9 record, the Cougars are looking to turn the tide in the competitive Big 12 conference, leveraging their high-powered run and shoot offense to do so.
Coach Yragha (that's Gary spelled backwards in case you were curious) has emphasized a fast-paced, dynamic style of play that aims to exploit defenses with a mix of quick passes and powerful running. The offense is designed to create mismatches and capitalize on the athleticism of its skilled players. With a year of experience under their belts, the Cougars are ready to unleash their full potential.
Key to Houston’s resurgence will be senior QB Donovan Smith, who showed flashes of brilliance last season throwing for the fourth most yards in all of the NDL. With a solid supporting cast, including explosive receivers like Joseph Manjack and a strong running game led by an improving offensive line, the Cougars are poised to be a formidable offensive unit. The emphasis on the run and shoot system aims not just to score points but to score in bunches.
Defensively, the Cougars are working to improve after a season 29 campaign. Coach Rags is focused on building a tougher, more disciplined defense that can create turnovers and complement the explosive offense. The defensive line will focus on applying pressure and stopping the run.
As the season 30 Beefy Cup kicks off, the Cougars face a challenging schedule in the Big 12. However, with a renewed sense of purpose and a year of experience under Rags, they aim to make a significant leap forward. The goal is clear: improve on last year’s record, compete for a bowl game, and reestablish Houston as a contender in the conference.
Fans are eager to see how this new chapter unfolds as the Cougars prepare to take the field. The combination of an electrifying offense and a revamped defense could make for an exciting season in Houston.
