Houston 42 Tulane 23

42

23

The Houston Cougars played the first post Case Keenum game. Under center was true freshman Terrance Broadway. The announced crowd 32,007 was technically a sell out but I figured about 22K was in actual attendance. The 2:30 p.m. kick off on an absolutely hot and humid day mixed with Keenum out for the year affected the attendance.

Regardless of the attendance, QB situation, heat and uncertainty of the rest of the season, the Cougars prevailed over the Tulane Green Wave 42-23. Broadway and the offense managed a 28-14 lead at halftime.

The hero of the game for the Coogs came on defense though. Cornerback Loyce Means intercepted two passes in the final six minutes to seal the game for the Coogs. The last pick he took to the endzone for a touchdown and put the Green Wave down for good. Means heroics earned him C-USA Defensive Player of the Week.

In Keenum's absence, Broadway went lead the Cougars to a 21-0 lead. However Broadway also fumbled twice and threw one interception. Junior running back Bryce Beall powered the Cougar offense with 123 yards on 24 carries with 4 going for TDs.
