First I want give props to Boise. Great team. Great program. Second, I want to say: "Yeah Baby!" A. Powers.
Tremendous game. Very well played and well executed on both sides. Colt showed why he is the best player in the country last night. A few poor throws, but he was on the money most of the game. He was throwing strikes all over the field: 40-53 for 495, 5 TDs, 2 INTs, 1 rushing TD. The NCAA career TD leader after only three seasons. Actually, he missed the equivalent of more than two games last year, because he was pulled in blowout wins and he missed about 3-4 games this year due to injury and blowouts. That makes his TD record even more remarkable.
I read that UH has won 21 out of its last 22? Pretty impressive, especially considering we could have beaten all three teams who beat us last year: Alabama, Boise, and Oregon State.
We have the best WR group in the nation. Both Rivers and Bess will get drafted in 08. Grice-Mullins might too if he comes out. C.J. Hawthorne is solid. I don't think he has dropped a pass all season. No defense can cover all four of them.
I thought the Bess penalty was a bad call (for diving into the end zone). It was close, but they shouldn't have thrown the flag. Still, this was the best officiated game at UH this season. The refs really stunk this year.
Our D was solid again. Did you see the Blaze Soares hit on Avery? That might have been my favorite play of the game. Soares is a beast.
I'm exhausted. The stadium will be bananas again next week. I'm stoked.
