When Houston returned to TDECU Stadium for the first time in about a month, it was all about the dynamic duo which has defined the Cougars’ offensive success over the past three seasons.
Ever since joining forces in 2020, quarterback Clayton Tune and wide receiver Nathaniel “Tank” Dell have established one of college football’s closest QB-WR rapports, and that chemistry was on full display in Houston’s 42-27 victory over South Florida.
Both longtime standouts witnessed career milestones in front of the home fans. In the second quarter, Tune became the third Cougar quarterback in history to eclipse the 10,000-yard passing mark, joining program legends Case Keenum and Kevin Kolb in an exclusive club.
