Herman has strategy for game against Memphis

During his weekly press conference, head coach Tom Herman broke down the team’s strategy for their game against the University of Memphis Tigers.

Herman said pulled information from earlier Memphis matchups like former opponents the University of Tulsa and the University of Cincinnati.

Herman also gleaned strategy from Memphis’ game against the University of Mississippi, who Herman said had a similar offense to Houston’s.

“You have to gauge philosophically who they are and what they want to be,” Herman said. “You formulate a game plan around your experience as an offensive staff.”

Herman said they’ll do their best to emulate Memphis quarterback Paxton Lynch’s style with the scout team’s quarterback, but they know that they’re not going to be able to replicate him.
