Out of Dozens of G5-to-the-NY6 Possibilities, Few Involve UH (FREE!)

Ryan Monceaux, , ,
Many UH fans insist that, even after the SMU loss, the Coogs are still in prime position to go to the NY6. They believe that all we need is Fresno State to lose a game and for the Coogs to beat UCF.   The data suggests that even at 10-2, with an AAC title and a Fresno State loss, UH… Read More

Film Room: UH Has Given Up On Punt Return
