The Cougars successfully held off Temple’s late comeback in their 20-13 road win, despite the their’ best defensive player, Ed Oliver, coming down with an injury in the second half.
Newly-appointed Houston QB Kyle Postma efficiently managed the game by limiting turnovers, and he made some crucial plays down the stretch to put the game away.
While a road game against the Owls posed a serious test for Postma during his first start in 2017, life will not be getting any easier this weekend. Mustangs are off to a 4-1 start, with the sole loss coming against a stout TCU squad on the road.
