College Football: Notes from Tuesday's media luncheon

  • Texas State will bring three running backs with it to Houston for Saturday's game — Dexter Imade, Frank Reddic and Corey Petro. Karrington Bush will not make the trip.
  • When quizzed further about Bush's absence, Bobcats head coach Brad Wright replied, "Karrington Bush will not make the trip."
  • Wright said he is confident Imade, Reddic and Petro will be able to handle the load against the Cougars.
  • Texas State defensive coordinator Fred Bleil said Houston's offense will be the toughest he's game-planned against in his (now) three years with the Bobcats.
  • Bleil said Texas State needs to match "Southland Conference speed with Conference USA speed" and induce turnovers to keep up with the Cougars.
  • Bleil said he and his staff aren't necessarily copying any team's game plan for Houston, but he liked what Air Force did to the Cougars in the Armed Forces Bowl.
  • Air Force held Houston quarterback Case Keenum to 222 yards through the air and picked him off six times.
  • As an addendum — The second Bobcat Live Chat of the 2010 season will be held tomorrow night (Wednesday) at 7:30 p.m. Note the change in time.
