The good news is the Cougars rallied and scored 20 unanswered points in the fourth quarter. Houston jumped out to a 10-0 lead, then engaged the UCF Golden Knights in an exchange of body blows. Houston finally landed enough in the fourth to take the lead for good.Jackie Battle rushed for 70 yards and 3 scores and Anthony Alridge added 131 yards on the ground and one score. Kevin Kolb meanwhile added a 22 for 34 effort yielding 304 passing yards and three TDs one each to Vincent Marshall (6 rec/39 yds), Biren Ealy (4 rec/85 yards), and Roshawn Pope (2 rec/76 yeads).
The bad news, Cougars had to rally and score 21 unanswered points in the fourth quarter. The Mad Dog D allowed 248 yards of rushing, and 282 yards through the air. Fortunately, the Golden Knights helped the Coogs and gave up two fumbles and two interceptions. They were also penalized 8 times for 70 yards.
Overall, while it was nice to see them fight back but it was a pedestrian effort vs a weak Golden Knights. I'm not fired up about this one. The Coogs will need to get it together on defense if they want to defeat the CUSA West leading 7-1 Tulsa Golden Hurricane.
