It's less than 3 weeks until Cougar football, which means it's time to preview the UH defense and special teams. How much can the Coogs improve upon a woeful run defense from the end of last season? Can new DC Joe Cauthen lead a defense that creates more havoc? We went position-by-position to find answers (or at least wild speculation) to these questions.

We also have actual Cougar (exhibition) results to mull over, as the men's basketball team knocked off an Italian team and a Lithuanian team to begin it's tour of Italy, and the soccer team crushed Houston Baptist 3-0 in their exhibition. Plus Amere Lattin won a silver medal in the Pan-American games!
