Briles Wins Debut
Looks like it was a good debut for Art Briles as head coach of UH last night, as they destroyed Rice 48-14.
Arguably, it should not be surprising that a large state university beat Rice at football, but such are the depths to which the UH program has sunk over the last decade.
And despite the dearth of talent at Rice, they are a well coached football team. Ken Hatfield gets about everything he can out of his players (just as he did at every other coaching stop). So it's certainly a positive that UH was able to play so well in its first game, with new coaches and new systems on offense and defense, against a well-coached opponent.
Unfortunately, I suspect UH's trip to Michigan next week will reveal the major differences in talent between the two programs. But it should be good for the budget, at least, and then they can travel and beat the hell out of Louisiana-Lafayette the following week.
I should get around to a Big 12 Wrap tomorrow. Had to wait for the Texas game tonight.
