UTEP 58 - (12) Houston 41 : Okay. This has to be some kind of record. On many different levels. Say your QB goes 51-76 for 536 yards and 5 TDs with NO picks. Would you like your chances with a line like that? I would. Unless I was out in El Paso on Saturday night. It was No Country for Young Cougars.
Some kid named Donald Buckram went all Javier Bardem on UH by blowing up the Cougar D for 262 yards on 32 carries with 4 TDs. Throw in a solid game by QB Trevor Vittatoe and NO turnovers by the Miners and you somehow trump Case Keenum putting up more yards than some have in a career. As you can probably tell by the article thus far neither defense decided to play, although UTEP forced 2 fumbles that they recovered for turnovers. The Coogs put up 664 yards on offense while UTEP wasn't far behind with 581. Maybe this will cool off Mike Price's seat that has grown progressively hotter over the past few weeks. It will probably also back some teams off of hot coaching commodity Kevin Sumlin. The offense looks great, but that defensive performance was really bad against a team that could only muster 58 yards of offense the week prior against Texas. And speaking of the Big 12, UH finishes the season 2-0 in the Big 12 South. They just can't handle that damn Conference USA schedule.
