SAN ANTONIO — Sixty minutes weren’t enough for UH football and UTSA to settle their season opener on Saturday afternoon at the Alamodome.
Instead, the 24th-ranked Cougars needed a 17-point fourth quarter plus three overtimes to squeak past the Roadrunners 37-35 in a chaotic start to the 2022 campaign.
The first three quarters were a slugfest, with UTSA establishing a comfortable 21-7 lead going into what was thought to be the final 15 minutes of the game. But UH football found the spark it needed late in the third when senior quarterback Clayton connected with freshman receiver Matthew Golden for 37 yards.
