Houston is a very winnable game week one. They’re only predicted to win a few games. We’re a three point dog for entertainment purposes.
OR Both teams tried to get better in the off seasonIf the team loses this game, that will speak volumes
I’m only concerned with our QB play. Will be the first game for Sluka or Williams, in this offense. If either one can reliably move the ball downfield, then I feel good about us taking this one. However, QB play is unknown’s at this point and this will make or break our season, IMO.If the team loses this game, that will speak volumes
I think UNLV will be hard to scout for also though, since they don't have any video of our new QB's, and how they'll be incorporated into the system. I expect it to look quite a bit different than last year due to having a much bigger threat of the QB running.It will be tough to know how good Houston is. First year head coach , but somone who has been very good throughout his career at several levels. Not sure about their recruiting/style of play/player retention.
I think it is probably to our favor that we play them first, given that it will probably take time for them to gel. But they will be hard to scout/prepare for.
I'll be there either way!
I agree, our offense could look very different with a mobile QB, but at least many of the formations will be the same.I think UNLV will be hard to scout for also though, since they don't have any video of our new QB's, and how they'll be incorporated into the system.

Andre Ware won a Heismann, right? He does color commentary for all Texans games on the radio. He also does some college football.I didn’t even know they were in the B12..
David Klingler and the other QB..I forget his name..Andre Ware?
Oh, and there's David Klingler, who set an all-division record of 11 TD passes in a game, and 716 yards in a game (since surpassed twice). Finished third in the Heisman voting, behind Ty Detmer and Rocket Ismail.Andre Ware won a Heismann, right? He does color commentary for all Texans games on the radio.

Can't forget the pride of Houston, Case Keenum!

Revenge is in order. I didn’t know we even played them.I'm old enough to remember when HTown beat us 69-0 in 1989 with Andre Ware. It was a promising start for the season.

UNLV has played and lost to Houston 3 times.Revenge is in order. I didn’t know we even played them.
But that was the first game in their new stadium, wasn't it? Maybe it was first game of year two, or second game of year one... That was a surprisingly minimalist new stadium, at least that's my recall on it. I remember being surprised how cheap it was, but that's because it didn't have a ton of bells and whistles.We played them ten years ago back in Houston. They beat us pretty good. It was real hot down there.
