Down 24-7 early in the second quarter things did not look good for UH, but the Cougars outscored Tulane 42-7 over the final 43:50 of the game to win their 2020 season opener 49-31 over the Green Wave Thursday night at TDECU Stadium.
It had been over 300 days since Houston had played a football game, and it showed early as the Cougars shook off the rust to begin the game.
The Cougar offense turned the ball over three times in the first quarter, including an interception returned for a touchdown and two fumbles, one of which was recovered in the end zone by Tulane for a touchdown.
