The Cougars defeated the Golden Hurricanes 41-26 on Thursday night in Houston’s conference opener and improved to 4-1 this season. The Cougars trailed for most of the game until 24 points in the fourth quarter put the team ahead for good.
Houston started the game on offense but was stopped on its first drive. It was the first time this season that the team was unable to score on its opening drive.
Tulsa, on the other hand, was able to march up field until it met a fourth and short. But the Hurricanes went for it.
