Coogs' House! Can the Houston Cougars' run game carry them to victory despite passing struggles? With 42 carries for 237 yards, the Cougars' ground attack, led by Re'Shaun Sanford, dominated the field. However, quarterback Donovan Smith faced challenges, completing only 12 of 21 passes for 140 yards, mostly on short throws and screens. This episode explores the strategic use of inside zone runs and the potential for more two-tight end sets to enhance the short passing game. The discussion also touches on the limited action for backup running back Parker Jenkins and the anticipated, yet unrealized, Zeon Chriss package. Key players like Mekhi Mews and Stephon "Boogie" Johnson are highlighted as potential game-changers. Join us for an engaging analysis of the Houston Cougars' offensive strategies and player dynamics.
