Few teams have been more disappointing than Houston this season, but the Cougars found a way to surprise everyone on Friday.<\/p>\n
Entering the week with a 2-3 record despite being ranked to start the season, Houston was eventually staring at a fourth loss against Memphis. The Tigers took a 26-7 lead into the fourth quarter with Houston again looking in disarray.<\/p>\n
Amazingly, Memphis would score on every drive for the rest of the game, but that didn't stop Houston. It responded with a 75-yard touchdown drive but failed the two-point attempt to shrink the deficit to 26-13. Memphis responded with a field goal, and then things started to get bananas.<\/p>\n
Jayce Rogers gave Houston an instant touchdown with a 100-yard return. After another failed two-point attempt, the score was 29-19.<\/p>\n
Another Memphis field goal followed, at which point Houston was down 13 points with around four minutes to work with. Much of that time got eaten on the ensuing 12-play, 75-yard drive that saw the Cougars convert a seven-yard and 11-yard fourth-down attempt.<\/p>\n
Then came a touchdown from Clayton Tune to KeSean Carter. The score was 32-26 Memphis.<\/p>\n
Then came a successful tip-drill onside kick.<\/p>\n
Then, finally, the game-winning touchdown, again from Tune to Carter.<\/p>\n
All told, Houston scored four touchdowns in the fourth quarter, with two in the final two minutes. That'll make for a fun Friday night in Memphis.<\/p>\n
