Coach Troy Calhoun can make it sound like the Falcons are playing against Alabama every week. Such was the case this week when he was asked about the Sam Houston Bearkats, a team transitioning from FCS to FBS and coming off an impressive defensive performance against BYU. He rattled on about the number of highly recruited transfers had joined the team, the size of the defensive front, the exceptional linebacking corps, and how not many teams can go into Provo, Utah and hold the Cougars to 14 points. My error was not listening to him more closely and then making a prediction that the Falcons would put up 30 points on the Bearkats, thinking they would have trouble with the option attack even with a better than average FBS defense.
