Thanks. Good memories of a good conference.

But the AAC is off to a pretty good start.
 
Houston has survived two horrible calls and I think they've lost their QB.
 
That is the 5th false start this crowd has caused. Incredible job.
 
Backup QB has definitely sparked this team. By the sounds of Herman's halftime interview, the ankle is pretty seriously injured. Doubtful he plays next weekend.
 
Memphis was all about preparing for Ward and now they have to figure out a plan against Postma.

I think I would have preferred Houston to win and to overlook us. We would be a classic "trap game".

I guess we'll have to settle for the "emotional letdown game" after losing the biggest game they've played in a while.

Not so fast my friend!
 
I have no idea what targeting actually is.

Edit: ok. They reversed it. Good overrule.

Not to bash the kid, but I actually want to see Pastma, a walk-on (He had no stars on recruiting sites), against a much more stout defense like ours. I said just before the game began that Memphis' Defense has been horrendous this year, and that drive showed it.
 
Would be great to have some electric crowd noise for Houston. A walk on backup QB and an OL with 3 FR.
 
A heartbreaking last second loss by Houston here might actually help us out in the 1st half next week.

I might have my sobriety checked by a few Yarders, but I think that either of these teams would have beaten Clemson TODAY.
 
Wow. What a game! Postma was awesome in relief. Would rather face Greg Ward next week. Crazy good watching. The AAC has been fun to watch this year. And USF crushing Temple? Wow!

I kinda agree. Clemson has been struggling with better defenses and their offense has been pretty pedestrian since that blow out of Miami. I think they're starting to miss Chad Morris

What's Houston CFP ranking coming up? My guess 17/18?

That's a good question. #9 LSU, #10 Stanford, #17 Miss St all lost so there should be shifting. Navy likely shifts up to 17/18 range. I'd say Houston goes from 24 to right behind Navy. Both Navy and Houston (and Memphis for that matter) looked better today than any of the ranked losers and ranked winners like TCU and Northwestern. It's getting increasingly difficult to justify some of these rankings, especially a 2-loss team, to be ahead of either Navy or Houston.
