I have no doubt that Houston will probably have a good game against UNLV. The past two seasons the games prior to Florida, Houston has rushed for 106 yds against Wyoming, 161 vs Fresno St, and 160 vs Marshall. Its the Florida game on Sept 18 that I'm worried about. Houston followed up those marvelous pre-SEC performances with 1 carry for 5 yards in 2002 and 12 carries for 25 yards last season.
In the past 2 seasons, Houston has played in 7 non-conf games and 14 SEC games. His breakdown of stats is like this...
In 7 non-conf games, he has rushed for 665 yds with a 7.0 avg per carry and also has 3 tds. That is an average of 95 yds per game.
In 14 SEC games, he has rushed for 800 yds with a 4.2 avg per carry and also has 5 tds. That is an average of 57 yds per game.
His avg carries per game is about the same for both, 13.7 for SEC and 13.6 for non-conf.
He has 7 games where he topped 100 yards. The first two games of last season and 5 the season before.
