We've done a terrific job in the last 3 games against UTEP, FAU, and LA Tech of making halftime adjustments defensively, as our defense has conceded an average of 209 yards (and 57 total points) in the first halves of those games, but an average of only 66 yards (and 14 total points) in the 2nd halves. It's been a similar story on the offensive side.

Then again, you guys do lead the series 4-2 and we have yet to win in Hattiesburg. I'm tempted to try and attend as I've yet to make it to Hattiesburg for a game.

This wouldn't be the year to do it. It will be empty and you won't get to enjoy the tailgating.

Yeah, aware of that, since it's like that everywhere, including our home games at the Alamodome. But as a teacher, I have next week off for Thanksgiving Break, so an opportunity like this doesn't present itself often, since there wouldn't be a huge rush to get back to Houston on Sunday so that I can finish up grading and preparing for the next day's lessons Sunday night as I normally would be forced to do.

The only thing making me think twice about it is COVID frankly. I have a strong immune system and am not worried about it myself, but I worry more for my wife because she has a weakened immune system. I already take many extra precautions as a classroom teacher to avoid bringing something home to her since there's always the chance that I may contract something and be asymptomatic.

I make all the UTSA home games in San Antonio (about 3 hours from where I live), but I'm much more familiar and comfortable with San Antonio since I lived there in the past and my parents reside there as well. Besides San Antonio, the only other place I've been since this whole thing started has been Austin because my brother lives there.

If you decide to make the trip, let us know and we can help you navigate H'burg. It's really pretty easy.
