The architect of the explosive Houston Cougar offense, coach Kevin Sumlin, has moved on to Texas A&M. The triggerman of that offense, 4-yr. starter Case Keenum, has graduated. The recipient of that offense's largesse, the wide receivers, are all gone. Those receivers represented 43 receiving TDs! They do have a decent returning RB in Sims, but, they've lost most of the great depth they had last year at that position.
On defense, they lose 2 all-conference linebackers. They leave 16 sacks and 230 tackles behind! In my opinion, no outstanding defenders return from last year's decent defense.
Combine these tremendous losses with a coaching staff that has little experience(new head coach Tony Levine, has no HC experience, and was not a defensive or offensive coordinator, but, was promoted from his post as Special Teams coach), and '12 could prove to be a difficult one for the Cougars.
My hope is they blow-out Texas St.(who?) in the opener, and come into LaTech's game with an inflated opinion of themselves. Look to go against Houston this year.
