Slow start for the B-Hawks. Of course Birmingham started slow too, got that big pass, and then did whatever the hell they wanted.

Seems that the same's on track to happen here. One play.

[MGB01]

That might be it

[MGB01]

Or maybe not, McCarron just off so far

Oh man, FOX savage, 'Give It Away' to the break

[4th&long]

Low scoring but much better game... Teams battling

Houston D weak on QB run, not a concern with McCarron.  Lets get that upset.

Find out a way CJ!

[4th&long]

Oh Boy - good protection there

[MGB01]

Think that OL attrition is gonna be more of an issue than we thought, that said pass pro on 4th and 4 was excellent.

[4th&long]

The Butler did it (again)

No 2pt

Houston needs to get a score of sometype here

[MGB01]

Now that's more like it, although h/t to Colby Richardson for a needless hold wiping out a third down sack (which might be the one play).

Never ideal to depend on the opponent to open the door, but who's fault is that? Besides, still needed pass pro to step up for the two money downs--which they did.

[MGB01]

Wow, Reggie Roberson with the Randall Cobb play from years back and gets the Roughnecks some field position
