Weird things happen in the Bayou Bucket Classic.
The Cougars battled back from 28-0 deficit to force overtime, but UH could not finish the game, losing to Rice in the Bayou Bucket Classic for the first time since 2010, 43-41.
It was perhaps the final Bayou Bucket Classic for the foreseeable future, as the game is not scheduled for the future.
After trading touchdowns in the first overtime, Rice scored once more to begin the second OT. The Owls initially failed to convert on their mandatory two-point attempt, but a penalty on gave them another chance, which they converted.
