Cougars can’t find enough defense against Texas Tech

In a game that featured a Heisman candidate on the defensive side, the offense was the main element for both teams as Texas Tech beat the Cougars in a shootout Saturday afternoon.

D’eriq King threw 5 touchdowns and ran for another, but the offense ran out of steam at the end of the game as the Raiders outscored UH 63-49.

The scoring started early as Texas Tech scored a touchdown on its first possession. After getting down into the endzone, running back Ta’Zhawn Henry made an athletic dive for the touchdown. It was the first of four touchdowns for Henry.
