No ****. I was picking them to win from the jump. Was still winnable. If it wasn't I'd be the first to say so.
When you are playing one of the top four college teams in the nation you expect it to be an uphill climb. UH played them tough in the first half, and imagine if those field goals were touchdowns. Could have been a nail biter. BUT, Cincinnati DOMINATED the line of scrimmage in the second half. That was the difference along with the Tune interception. Houston had to play a perfect game, and they didn't.
It seemed to me that Tune was ill-equipped mentally for 8 deep. He tucked and ran a lot. But what made that even worse was the o-line was not prepared for it either. So many missed blocks. It was one sided.
