After suffering a 28-point loss to No. 6 Cincinnati, the UH offense once again found itself in the position it was in the week prior when it faced UCF.
The Cougars’ defense played well enough to keep the team within striking distance, but the offense could not produce any consistent drives, much less any points, and then eventually the Knights and Bearcats took over and controlled the game.
“Our confidence is shot,” head coach Dana Holgorsen said during his postgame radio interview.
For back-to-back weeks, Houston had been held to only one offensive touchdown and lost in blowout fashion.
