It wasn’t supposed to be like this.
The Arizona Wildcats are now 0-2 for the first time since 1981 after getting absolutely manhandled by the Houston Cougars on Saturday to the tune of a 45-18 beatdown.
This game was never in doubt as UH waltzed 81 yards to the endzone on just ten plays in 2:47 to open the game and never looked back. It’s now the second underwhelming performance to start off the Kevin Sumlin era in Tucson.
Khalil Tate, who appeared to injure his left ankle on the first drive of the game, threw his first interception of the year to give the Cougars the ball right back and allow them to take a 14-0 lead not even halfway through the first quarter.
