But those around the program say Sumlin's biggest influence has not involved Xs and Os. Having previously worked under coaches such as Stoops, R.C. Slocum, Joe Tiller and Glen Mason, he and his staff operate like they're running a major-conference program.

"He brought a lot of discipline to the program that we needed," said Keenum. "A lot of what he's done is still coming into effect, little stuff like pregame routines to how we travel to the way we practice and the way we meet."

That is interesting, It indeed sounds like what DC is doing. Another interesting comparison is to look at Houston's schedule last year. They started 1-3 including an embarrassing loss to Southern University, but turned it around to finish 8-5 including a bowl game victory over Air Force whom they lost to earlier in the year. Hopefully, after a somewhat sluggish start DC can get us rolling like Houston appeared to last year. The only problem is we play in the MWC and Houston had the cupcake schedule of CUSA. We shall see.
