In what was a battle of the top two QBs in the league yardage wise, Arizona capitalized on two Houston turnovers and just enough offense to pull out a 28-10 victory over the Houston Cougars.
Arizona was able to jump out to a 14-3 lead early in the first half but Houston kept driving down the field with ease. It looked like they would finally capitalize with points on a well-timed QB run but their star QB was hit at the goal line by an Arizona safety and fumbled the ball into and out of the endzone resulting in a touchback for the Wildcats.
Arizona was able to score a TD off of that play and escape the half with the lead. Two more touchdowns in the third quarter sandwiched around a Houston interception allowed the Wildcats to put the game out of reach and secure their seventh win of the season.
TUCSON, AZ - Same story, different verse. Houston gets up early, opposing teams storm back and down goes the good guys. Of course the goal line fumble, a TD if senior QB Donovan Smith had wrapped up just a smidge more seemed to turn the tide for good in favor of the Kats for good in the 28-10 defeat.
Houston's defense, held strong against the run, their shortcoming this week was a lack of offense and the inability to stop Arizona's passing attack. The majority of which came on 3rd down.
"I mean, how many damn times did we have them at 3rd and 8, or 9 and they convert. It's nauseating and here we are, 2-8 and bottom dwellers in our first year in a power 4 conference. Two games left, see what our guys and staff are made of. Fold up, head home or go out with some pride and hope to gain some momentum going into next year for which I plan to be here. I do have one (a plan) in place to right this ship. Eat 'Em Up!."
