I admit, I didn’t expect the defense to be Brilesian but, then again, these are mostly Briles recruits trying to learn a real defensive system so maybe we should have expected them to be this bad?
I hope Houston fans give Sumlin a couple of years to get some talent in on the defensive side of the ball. I like what he’s doing, he just needs athletes to pull it off.
The "third world" comments are amusing. Especially since they are coming from the academic elite and lifestyle editors. You do know wich professions are the least valued in a third world country don’t you? (Hint: there’s a premium on the guy with the shovel)
