Close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades. It’s a popular saying from Baltimore Orioles legend Frank Robinson.
With that said, we were close to a perfect day in Week 10.
If it weren’t for not one, but two Brian Battie kickoff returns for a touchdown, Houston would have covered the spread and gave us a perfect week. Instead, USF gave Houston a real scare with a lead at halftime.
Still finished with a 4-1 mark, the second time in three weeks with that record.
Let’s keep that momentum going into Week 11 with a favorite, an underdog, an over, an under and to close it all out, a money line winner.
