U of H scores 10 times, trumps Tulsa

With six touchdowns under their belt at halftime, the University of Houston Cougars knew they were going to have an awesome game. Unranked Houston played number 25 Tulsa at home in a game they won't soon forget. Tulsa scored four times and put up 30 points but they failed to stop the Cougar offense allowing 10 touchdowns. “It was an embarrassing loss for us,” Tulsa coach Todd Graham said, but “as bad as it is, we’re still tied for first place.” Houston coach Kevin Sumlin was obviously happy with the win over the Conference USA leader.

Obviously, any team that is averaging 52 points per game, any time you can stop them, that is big, our defense really rose to the occasion. I thought we had a great plan on both sides of the ball and our kids executed it.

In a week where no top ranked teams were upset, there was little excitement in this weekend's college games. The only ranked teams that faced each other were number three Florida and twenty-four South Carolina with Florida annihilating them. Next week undefeated Texas Tech takes on number five Oklahoma, if Tech wins they have a clear shot at the championship but if the Sooner nation can pull off an upset Tech's chances will be all but gone.

How awesome was that game. I kept looking at the bottom line and wasn't believing the score. Houston Bowl here comes UH
