HOUSTON (AP) -No. 17 Houston and its prolific offense started slow against Tulane last weekend, scoring just nine points in the first half – a season low.
They got going after halftime to take control and cruise to the 44-16 win, but know starting strong will be important as they look to move up in the Conference USA standings.
The Cougars next test is against an SMU team that is tied for the C-USA West lead with a 2-0 conference record.
Quarterback Case Keenum says starting fast is something the Cougars shoot for each game and that it sets the tone for the day. In fact, Saturday was the first time this year where Houston’s No. 1 ranked offense didn’t score a touchdown in the first quarter.
