    Fair enough.

    Has any team he's ever coached played even a modicum of defense?

    I think it probably depends on how you measure defense. They've been in the top half of their conference in points allowed the last several years in conference play - 4th last year, I believe. But the pace they play at sort of messes up all the stats because there are more possessions in a lot of their games in general so their offensive and defensive stats get inflated.

    I measure it by not giving up 30-50 points per game.

    Hell, Mack Brown got hired at UT by doing the same thing to a shitty UNC program.

    Pretty much everyone is healthy this weekend except for Hudson. Center Zach Shackelford will start at center sending Sophomore Kerstetter to the bench.

    Not really, maybe he's learned recently at WSU but it was never the case at Tech; not hiring the right guys who would recruit the right guys for their system?

    Haven't followed the Horns as much since I moved from Austin but my dislike for that piece of s*** meth lab they call a state north of us has never changed.

    HOOK EM'

    That was a very soft zone to be playing on 4th and 3

    eta:
    Then they completely went away from what worked all half.

    Couldn't ask for a much more entertaining 1st half.

    Ingram, my man. If he can stay healthy he's special. He also had a phenomenal block on Sam's TD run.

    eta: hell yeah you go for it again here

    Their midget DBs cannot hang with Humphrey and Johnson.

    I didn't think Ellinger had it in him. He's playing an amazing game..
