Houston vs FSU

Just watched the scoring drive. TD run by the dual threat QB.....hmmmm

I'm sure the following people or group of people are watching this game.

1. All the current Rutgers QB's
2. Russo
3. The current Rutgers RB's and WR's
4. All the targeted offensive recruits, Harmon, Gray, Dubois......even those Jersey recruits committed elsewhere.
 
Wow, the QB is running up and down the sideline to loosen up his ankle. looks like he's coming back in.
just looked him up. he is a NJ product. Sean Macguire.
 
FSU QB is under throwing everything because he can't push off with his ankle
 
the thing is. FSU players are more talented in my eyes. they are just being schematically outplayed. Houston players are playing well bcoz they are well positioned. i like what i see.
 
Do we have a QB that is mobile like Houston's Ward?

No, but I think Gio gets the nod as QB. I'll say it again, if Mehringer runs this same Houston offense, Russo is not the guy. I think something will happen in January, just my gut.
 
Houston's offense looks well coached. The QB injury certainly is affecting FSU's offense - they would've had a long TD pass late in the 2nd if it was not badly underthrown. This game shows the downside of the bowl pick'ems because I picked FSU but would rather see Houston win.
 
interesting. off the kick off return, the Houston special teamer just wrapped up a returner, with a rugby style tackle.
ha. looks like they have taken Ash's D philosophy.

What is the rugby technique?
How common is it in college/NFL?

supposedly Pete Carroll advocated it and got started. Ash is a big proponent and convinced Meyer to adopt it. so not many do it but the number is growing.

in a nutshell, the tackler target the torso more than the upper body, which reduces helmet to helmet collision.
 
Time for Houston offense to find its mojo. They've been stopped cold so far in second half. Ward has become very ordinary and/ or FSU's defense has really stepped it up.
 
Houston has looked very good so far...Maguire has looked bad to terrible. It's both Houston's D and his play. He looks like Nova did vs Houston on Homecoming 2013, just chucking up stupid throws into double and triple coverage.

Their backup who isn't as mobile rand the offense fine as well. Really want to see Rettig and Russo run this O
