After throwing for 9 touchdowns against Rice in a 63-34 Houston win, Case Keenum is the talk of the college football world. With the failures of Timmy Chang and Colt Brennan, it would seem that he is destined to be another casualty of the NFL, but his CFL stardom is all but assured. Many draft experts believe he is a late round pick that stands little chance of becoming an NFL star, which is probably true unless a quarterback coach really invest some time in developing him. The good thing for him going forward is he does a great job of getting rid of the football on time. Also, he has great leadership skills and with the Houston Cougars likely to have an undefeated season, he will garner plenty of attention from scouts.  A good week at the forthcoming senior bowl in Mobile, Alabama will be his ticket to win scouts over before the draft.  If he does not perform well that week, then he will immediately become a star in the CFL. I believe he would break all kind of passing records in t...

Houston on top in Texas

Before the 2011 college football season, there was boundless optimism bursting from all pockets and corners of the Lone Star State.

A Historic Night

Midway through the first quarter, after the Rice Owls had opened up a 17-7 lead over the Houston Cougars on a Case Keenum fumble (which was returned 12 yards by Cameron Nwoso for a TD), I was starting to re-think my prediction earlier in the week of a 66-21 Coogs victory. Perhaps chalking it up to the work of a higher power,

Record night for Houston in win over Rice

Houston’s 73-34 victory over intra-city rival Rice wasn’t the only thing the Cougars got to celebrate tonight. The win, which puts UH at 8-0, came in part because of some record performances by quarterback Case Keenum and wide receiver/kick returner Tyron Carrier (pictured). With his 100-yard game-opening kickoff return for a touchdown, Carrier tied the…
