Cougars weather storm against Golden Hurricane

Football was just inches away from suffering their second consecutive defeat, but thanks to an impressive late game defensive effort, the Cougars were able to escape.

After a nerve-wracking goal line stand in the waning moments of the game, the team defeated the University of Tulsa Golden Hurricane 38-31 at TDECU Stadium Saturday.

“Really excited for our guys,” said Herman. “They can take a punch in the face and respond. Again, it’s another example of winning is really really hard.”

Senior quarterback Greg Ward Jr. did not find the end zone through the air or ground, but made his presence felt with his efficient play.
