Well, that game was a comedy of errors.
On Houston’s side, Greg Ward threw three interceptions in the first half and then the Cougars fumbled immediately to open the second half when Ward and Duke Catalon could not complete a zone-read handoff.
UCF happily reciprocated in the second half with four turnovers of its own: two interceptions and two fumbles.
Houston surged back to life and took the lead for the first time in the game with 7:27 left to play. The Cougars held on for the 31-24 win.
As my colleague Chas stated in the preview, it has not been a happy three weeks for the Cougars.
