That would be quite some prediction if you end up being right about Clerveaux

It's probably the least important part of the prediction - just having a little fun, but would love to see it happen

1) The winning team:  Bad Guys (Houston)
2) The final score:  45-27 (OC Gilbert explains after:  "Houston didn't let us have what we wanted, so we took what they gave us"  *SHRUGS/LOOKS AWAY FROM CAMERA)
3) Bulls leading rusher:  Cronk (but Ford...wow)
4) Bulls leading receiver: St. Felix.  We have to feed this guy in space...we KNOW he's a game changer.
5) Bulls total offensive yards (closest without going over):369

This isn't my usual "emotional hedge".  Of course we can stun the "experts" and win if we play close to our potential.  But after watching us struggle the first half v UConn (the worst D I've seen in years), I'm concerned about scoring.  And, after getting gashed for nearly 200 by a QB who we KNEW couldn't pass (and apparently refused to spy) AND 100+ by the RB (granted...he's pretty good), I don't know how we keep Houston under 40.  Hope I'm wrong.

I have a similar score. This time we are in agreement. Hope we are wrong.

I have a similar score as well.  Don’t think we win but nothing would surprise me.

Did you see UMass?

Me either. Defense is supposed to be Charlie's specialty. Was surprised at the inability of our defense to adjust to that QB draw of UConn's. We've shown the ability to make in-game adjustments this season, but we seemed to be clueless on how to stop Pindell. King is just as good a runner, and a far better passer. ZERO chance that the team we saw against UConn beats Houston. Hoping we can rise to the occasion. We will need to have our heads out of our behinds for 4 full quarters to win this one.
