I guess you would have to say that last night was a good night for Houston sports teams. Not the Texans, who are still struggling and lost a game they were expected to win, but the Astros and the U of H Cougars both looked good winning nationally televised games.
Considering the expectations at the start of the season, anything the ‘Stros do now is icing on the cake. They went into Kansas City, and beat the Royals 5 to 2 last night in the first game of the division series and they looked like they were having fun doing it.
Meanwhile, the Cougars went to 5 and 0 with a 49-28 win over the SMU Mustangs. Quarterback Greg Ward Jr. was 16-for-18 passing for 243 yards. He also rushed 14 times for 82 yards and four touchdowns. Those kinds of numbers are guaranteed to make Texans fans drool.
Houston is still looking for a quarterback, but Indiana proved that the quarterback isn’t necessarily the problem. They used 40 year-old backup quarterback Matt Hasselbeck, who has been in the NFL longer than the Texans – and who was out sick and didn’t practice last week – to lead them to a 27-20 win.
Defensively in the Texans game, both Watt and Clowney were double-teamed on every play. That means somebody should have been wide open and in the Colts backfield on every play, but nobody ever was. I know we had a couple of linebackers sidelined with injuries this week, but where was everybody else?
