The Number 17 ranked University of Houston Cougars came back to the Rob after a month of road games.They were facing off in a C-USA West Division tilt with our old SWC rivals, the Southern Methodist University Mustangs.
After the homecoming parade, the rain of touchdowns began for my favorite college football team. The number one ranked offense in the NCAA never trailed despite not generating more than 500 yards for the first time all season in their 38-15 win.
The defense stepped up and forced three turnovers that led to 14 first half Cougar points. Linebacker C.J. Cavness had a monster game with 18 tackles, 1.5 sacks, two fumble recoveries and a forced fumble.
The Coogs also opened the second half with a 92 yard kickoff return from Tyron Carrier to make the 31-3.
The Coogs are now 6-1 for the year and 2-1 in C-USA play. With the win they inched up two more spots to number 15 on the AP poll, Number 16 on the USA Today Coaches Poll but fell one spot to Number 18 in the BCS rankings.
Next up is a Halloween matchup at the Rob versus the always tough C-USA East Division leading Southern Mississippi Golden Eagles.
Eat 'em up!
