Houston’s offense did well on the big stage against Oklahoma on Sunday, but the same can’t be said for the defense. However, there are still things to be excited about with this group. Heads were certainly turned with the depth chart released before the game, and even more when things changed for the first play. Joe Cauthen will get things turned around, but for now it’s still a group with many bad habits.
Let’s get the bad out of the way first. The front four did not fair well against Oklahoma’s offensive line. Sooners’ running backs found gaping holes for them to run through and forced the secondary and linebackers to save the play.
