Although football has met tough competition lately, the Cougars’ offense continues to perform remarkably. Saturday night’s win over the University of Tulsa Golden Hurricane came down to a timely defensive stand, but it was the offense that impressed throughout.
The ground game was most notable, as it accounted for over 268 yards. Senior quarterback Greg Ward Jr. led the way with 142 rushing yards to go and 254 yards through the air. It was his runs that set up junior running back Dillon Birden for a record-career night with three touchdowns.
However, from an outside perspective, it is clear that the offense did not play as well as they used to.
