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.

The Houston Cougars avenged last year's 58-41 upset at the hands of the UTEP Miners. The Coogs defeated the Miners 54-24 with the out come never really in doubt.

For the second consecutive game, the Cougar faithful sold out a game. For many outsiders that may not seem a big deal but given Cougar attendance history it is a big deal.

The Miners used the opening drive to take their only lead of the game 7-0.

From there on it was the Houston Cougar ground show. Yes, that's right, the Cougars ground the Miners into the turf with a rushing attack. In addition to the usual 300 plus passing yards, the Cougars added 308 yards running the ball. Bryce "Brick" Beall lead the way with 195 yards and 3 TDs rushing. JUCO transfer Michael Hayes added 77 yards on 17 carries and matched Beall's 3 TDs.

For the first time in 31 games, Cougar quarterback and Heisman hopeful Case Keenum failed to pass for a touchdown. Keenum also failed to reach the 300 yard mark in passing yards. More important remains the status of Keenum's health. Keenum left the game in the 3rd quarter after trying to make a play after he threw an interception.

At the end of the game, all that matters is a Cougar victory. Pass records, Heisman trophies, streaks and attendance records don't mean anything if the Coogs lose when the clock reads 00:00.
