COACHING STAFF
ACCREDITATION GUIDELINES • Only full-time, salaried employees intending to provide actual game coverage may receive credentials. • A requesting media agency must represent a collective, organizational editorial voice, not simply the offerings of a single individual. • Membership in a writers’association does not automatically qualify an agency for credentials. • A media agency may assign one of its credentials to its online entity. • An online entity, not associated with a traditional media agency, may qualify for one credential, subject to the following conditions: 1. An online entity may receive a credential only if its own full-time staff writes a majority of that site’s material. 2. Online entities that focus primarily on University of Houston Athletics and sponsor message boards or chat rooms, may receive credentials provided they adhere to a policy that requires that a posted message or opinion is identified with the actual name and city of the individual posting the message. 3. Any online service that is recognized as an outlet intended primarily for the purpose of delivering news related to the recruitment of student-athletes will not qualify for credentials. 4. Online entities (other than those identified above) registering 20,000 legitimate unique users per month in each of the past 12 months will be given first consideration.
ASSISTANCE The University of Houston Athletics Communications Office is at your service to assist you with your coverage of Cougar Football. Associate Athletics Director for Communications David Bassity, Director Jeff Conrad and Assistant Directors Kyle Seay, Michael McGrory and Allison McClain will be happy to serve you during the 2013 season. For information regarding credentials, team and studentathlete information, interviews, statistics, photos, video highlights, press conferences and satellite feeds, please call the Houston Athletics Communications Office at (713) 743-9404. The Athletics Communications Office is located in the Ted Nance Suite (No. 2008) on the second floor of the Athletics/ Alumni Center, located on Cullen Blvd. between Cougar Field and Hofheinz Pavilion. If available, parking will be provided in the front lot of the Athletics/Alumni Center.
2013 SEASON
All requests for working press, radio, television, photography or scouting credentials should be made online at www.sportssystems. com/Houston AT LEAST ONE WEEK PRIOR TO THE GAME. Season credential requests should be requested at least two weeks prior to the first game. Seating in the press box is for working media and scouts only. All space for the working press, radio and television is allocated by the Houston Athletics Communications Office, which reserves the right to deny credentials to any outlet. Spouses, dates, children, equipment carriers and non-workers are restricted from the press box, sidelines and locker rooms.

HOUSTON HOUSTON IN 2013 MOVING TO THE AMERICAN ATHLETIC CONFERENCE
COACHING STAFF
2013 SEASON
« For the first time in 18 years, Houston will play in a different conference as it joins The American Athletic Conference in 2013. « One of four new programs in The American Athletic Conference, Houston will host Cincinnati, Memphis, SMU and USF while traveling to UCF, Louisville, Rutgers and Temple. Non-conference action will see UH face off against Southern, Rice, UTSA and BYU. Houston has never played three of the teams - BYU, Rutgers and UTSA. « Entering its 23rd season as a football-playing entity, The American Athletic Conference Conference holds its BCS automatic qualifier status for the 2013 season.
END OF CONFERENCE USA ERA
THE COUGARS
« The 2012 season marked the end of Houston’s 17-year run as a member in Conference USA. Houston’s first year as a member came in 1996 as the Cougars recorded a 4-1 conference record. Houston finished its stint in C-USA with a 68-60 conference record in the 17-year span and an overall record of 103-104. « Houston never finished worse than third in the West Division of Conference USA after finishing in the top three in 2012. « C-USA title game participants in 2011, 2009 and 2006, Houston and Tulsa (2012, 2008, 2007, 2005) established a grip on the CUSA West crown. Only SMU (2010) advanced from the west to the C-USA title game in the game’s eight-year existence. « Houston ended its Conference USA stint with the second-best league record since 2005 when the conference split into two divisions. Over the last eight years since the divisional split, Houston accumulated a league record of 45-19 and an overall record of 65-39.

SAYING GOODBYE TO ROBERTSON
LOOKING BACK AT 2012
« Houston finished its final season in Conference USA and its final year in Robertson Stadium with a 5-7 record including a 4-4 mark in C-USA play. « Safety Trevon Stewart earned FWAA Freshman All-America honors while 13 total Cougars earned All-Conference USA honors. « Nine true freshmen played on the year and accounted for 27 starts. « With 45 points in its win over UTEP, Houston eclipsed the 35-point mark for the fifth straight game, a feat that had only been accomplished two other times in program history - by the 2011 team (12 straight games to open the season) and the 1989 team (six straight games to end the season). « The 2012 senior class closed out its career in a tie for seventh for the most wins, 33, by a single class in a four-year period at the University of Houston. « Injuries hit the Houston program especially hard last season as members of the team’s two deep missed a combined 58 games this season due to injuries. Eight players suffered season-ending injuries and the team’s most valuable player, Charles Sims, was forced to miss three full games and the second half of three others.
LOOKING AHEAD TO 2013
« Twenty-six full or part-time starters, not counting specialists, return in 2013. Among those are last year’s leaders in passing (David Piland), kick returns (Ryan Jackson), interceptions (Zach McMillian) and punting (Richie Leone). « The 12 opponents on the 2013 schedule combined for a record of 85-65 (.567), eight finished .500 or better, six won at least eight games including three with at least 10 wins and seven played in bowl games. « The program welcomes an incoming class of 26 that is comprised of 19 high school student-athletes, eight junior college transfers and two four-year transfers. « Five of the 26 newcomers enrolled in the program in January for spring workouts - DE Trevor Harris, WR D’Juan Hines, LB Elandon Roberts, LB Caleb Tucker and DB Turon Walker.
HISTORY
« Robertson Stadium, Houston’s home in 2012, is literally no more. Demolition on the 70-year old stadium began on Dec. 3, 2012, and the stadium was gone in three weeks. « Houston held its official groundbreaking for the Houston Football Stadium on Feb. 8. The 40,000-seat stadium is set to open August of 2014. « The Cougars finished 72-44-1 (.620) inside Robertson Stadium and were 36-9 (.800) dating back to 2006. « Houston will play four of its 2013 2012 CONFERENCE USA STANDINGS games at Reliant Stadium, home of C-USA EAST OVERALL TEAM W L Pct.

THE COUGARS
« Doug Meacham, who spent the last eight seasons at Oklahoma State, joined the Houston staff on Jan. 14 as the program’s new offensive coordinator. A vital part of an OSU offense that averaged at least 40 points in five of his eight years in Stillwater, Meacham will oversee the program’s quarterbacks. « Entering his second season at Houston, Travis Bush was elevated to co-offensive coordinator and assistant head coach and shifted back to leading the program’s running backs after taking over as offensive play caller and quarterbacks coach during the 2012 season. « Glen Elarbee joined the program on Jan. 14 as its offensive line coach after spending 2012 at Middle Tennessee State where his unit ranked second nationally with just seven sacks allowed on 344 pass attempts. The first-year Houston coach spent two seasons coaching alongside Meacham at Oklahoma State. « Brandon Middleton and Jamie Christian both return in 2012 with Middleton coaching outside receivers and Christian taking on the inside receivers including the return of the tight end position.
« The 2012 season saw 19 different Houston players record a reception including eight players with at least 20 receptions and four with at least 37. At least seven different players had a reception in 11 of 12 games including 11 players with a catch vs. UAB.

COACHING STAFF
2013 SEASON
DEFENSE NOTES CHANGES TO THE DEFENSIVE STAFF
« Veteran NFL and NCAA defensive coach David Gibbs takes over as Houston’s defensive coordinator in 2013. The 20-year coaching veteran has been part of a coaching staff that has played in a bowl game in seven of his 11 years on the collegiate level. The latest came in his last collegiate coaching stop when he served as defensive coordinator at Auburn in 2005. The Tiger defense ranked sixth nationally in scoring defense, allowing just 15.5 points per game, while ranking 11th in sacks with 39 and 16th in third-down defense. « Also new to the Houston defensive staff is linebackers coach Vernon Hargreaves. 28-year coaching veteran has been part of a coaching staff that has played in a bowl in 12 of his last 15 seasons including back-to-back BCS National Championship appearances at Miami. « In his second season at Houston, Ricky Logo will take over the entire defensive line while Zac Spavital handles the secondary for the sixth season.
TACKLING MACHINES
« With its opponents winning the time of possession battle, Houston defenders were given the opportunity to pile up some numbers in 2012 and several did so as 10 Cougars racked up 37 double-digit tackle efforts. « Derrick Mathews led the way with eight double-digit tackle efforts in 2012. With last season’s effort, Mathews has 10 career games with at least 10 tackles. « In his first year on the collegiate level, Trevon Stewart led all freshmen nationally with 126 tackles and was second to Marshall’s Dominick LeGrande (132) as the nation’s top defensive back in tackles. « Stewart was second behind Mathews with his six games with at least 10 tackles including a Houston season-high 21 stops against East Carolina. The 21-tackle total marked the seventh-best tackle game in Houston history. « Mathews and Stewart finished tied for second on the team with 126 tackles each, just two behind the 128 of team leader, senior Phillip Steward.
SECONDARY STARTERS
« With all four starters from the 2012 season finale returning, the Houston secondary is in a battle with the offensive line as the team’s most experienced group. « Behind linebacker Derrick Mathews with 26 starts, senior cornerback Zach McMillian has the most starts of all defensive player with 25 career starts including all 12 games last season. The No. 2 corner on the team until D.J. Hayden went down with a season-ending injury, McMillian stepped up into the lead role and finished the season with interceptions in four of the last five games including all three games that Hayden missed. « Also affected by Hayden’s injury was senior corner Thomas Bates who started the final three games of the season at the No. 2 corner. In those three games Bates collected 26 tackles after only totaling nine tackles in the first nine games of the season. Bates also led the team in passes broken up, with 10 including five in the three games he started. « At free safety, Trevon Stewart returns after starting the final 10 games of 2012 at the position en route to earning FWAA Freshman All-America honors. The Patterson, La., native also broke up seven passes. « Adrian McDonald started two games in 2012 at nickel back before starting the season-finale at strong safety. A high school quarterback in his first year on defense, McDonald finished his lone start with eight tackles, two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery. The Lawton, Okla., native also picked off two passes on the season.
LOOK AT THE LINEBACKERS
« With the loss of the most experienced player on the team in strongside linebacker Phillip Steward, new linebackers coach Vernon Hargreaves will look to replace Steward and starting middle linebacker Everett Daniels in 2013. « Hargreaves’ track record coaching linebackers speaks for itself. With seven linebackers at Miami alone drafted, Hargreaves also has Butkus Award, Nagurski Trophy and the Bednarik Award winners on his resume along with two of three finalists for the Butkus Award in 2003. « The group’s lone returning starter from 2012, Derrick Mathews is the defense’s most experienced player with 26 career starts and moves to the middle for 2013 after starting 26 straight games on the weakside. The junior has posted triple-digit tackles in his first two seasons on campus including 126 last season. His 80 assisted tackles in 2012 was the third-best single-season total in Houston history. « Replacing Mathews on the weakside will be senior George Bamfo, a veteran of 34 career games who seemed to click in the spring. Candidates to back Bamfo are junior Efrem Oliphant and redshirt-freshman Davonte Thomas. « On the strongside, redshirt-freshman Steve Taylor will battle along with senior Austin Wilson for the right to replace Steward. A veteran of 31 games, Wilson has 17 career tackles. « The linebacking group welcomed two newcomers in the spring in sophomore Elandon Roberts, who transferred from Morgan State, and freshman Caleb Tucker, who enrolled early from high school in Monroe, La., while Tyler McCloskey joined the group in the fall. In his lone season at Morgan State, Roberts was a finalist for the Jerry Rice Award, given to the nation’s top freshman on the FCS level, as he finished the year with 107 tackles, two sacks, one interception and broke up two passes.
THREE OR FOUR?
« Depending on Gibbs’ defensive call, Houston fans could possibly see a 4-3 or a 3-4 formation without a single player leaving the field as the returning defensive ends have the ability to easily shift to a stand-up linebacker position. « The only returning defensive lineman that was a regular in the 2012 starting lineup in junior defensive tackle Joey Mbu. With eight starts last season, Mbu had 27 tackles on the year while constantly holding up the point of attack. « After starting at Houston as a defensive back before moving to linebacker, Eric Eiland has now made the move to defensive end as he continues to bulk up without losing his quickness. A former minor league baseball player, Eiland exploded in the season finale of his freshman year with four tackles, a sack, an interception, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery. « Redshirt-freshman Cameron Malveaux or junior defensive end Eric Braswell could hold down the starting end spot opposite Eiland. Braswell has 13 career starts with two coming in 2012 while Malveaux has bulked up to 252 pounds on his 6-6 frame. He is joined on the starting lineup chart by sophomore Tomme Mark who earned his first career start last season.
BEHIND THE LINE
« The Houston defense ranked 10th nationally with 36 sacks and 22nd in the nation with 85 tackles for loss although a number of those will have to be replaced. Derrick Mathews led all returners with 17 tackles for loss, a number that ranked 17th nationally last season, and six sacks, which ranked ninth in Conference USA.

KENNETH FARROW
A New Challenge Although the University of Houston did not officially move to The American Athletic Conference until July 1, 2013, the Houston football program spent last spring preparing for the challenges it will face in its new conference this fall. One of the challenges for Tony Levine in his second season as a head coach is a 12-game schedule that features opponents that went to seven bowls in 2012 and own a 2012 combined record of 85-65. Houston will welcome new conference foes Cincinnati (10-3 record in 2013), Memphis (4-8), SMU (7-6) and USF (3-9) to its temporary homes while the Houston Football Stadium, set to open in August of 2014, is being constructed. The Cougars will also travel to face American foes UCF (10-4), Louisville (11-2), Rutgers (9-4) and Temple (4-7). In non-conference action, UH will face off against BYU (8-5), UTSA (8-4), Rice (7-6) and Southern (4-7). In 2013 Houston returns 39 letterwinners with a combined 269 career starts. In all, 27 players with starting experience return from the 2012 roster that lost 20 starters with a combined 252 games started. The returning group includes six players that received All-Conference USA honors. Changes were made to the coaching staff as well. On offense, new offensive coordinator Doug Meacham spent the last eight seasons on an Oklahoma State staff that consistently produced one of the nation’s top offenses. He’ll be joined on the offensive side of the ball by offensive line coach Glen Elarbee whose 2012 line at Middle Tennessee State ranked second nationally with just seven sacks given up. On the defensive side of the ball, David Gibbs returns to the college ranks as Houston’s defensive coordinator after spending eight of his last nine seasons in the NFL. A veteran of seven collegiate coaching staffs that advanced to bowl games, Gibbs will be joined by linebackers coach Vernon Hargreaves. A 28-year coaching veteran, Hargreaves has been a part of a staff that has advanced to a bowl game in 12 of the last 15 seasons including back-to-back BCS National Championship appearances at Miami.
The Offense Experience plays a part on the offensive side of the ball for Houston in 2013 as it returns 15 players with starting experience. Familiarity is the word up front as Houston returns a load of experience with six offensive linemen with a combined 92 career starts. The passing game also contains names well recognized in the Houston area as 2012 starting quarterback David Piland returns along with 61.3 percent of Houston’s 2011 receiving yards. In all, 10 of UH’s top 13 receivers return. In the backfield, youth rules the days as sophomores Kenneth Farrow and Ryan Jackson take over after sucessful freshmen campaigns.
QUARTERBACKS
As previously mentioned, 2012 starting quarterback David Piland returns in 2013 as does last season’s backup, Bram Kohlhausen. Piland enters the fall seventh on Houston’s all-time passing charts with 5,585 career yards. The junior finished last season third in Conference USA with 283.5 yards of total offense per game despite missing two games with injuries. Piland is just six touchdowns away from moving into the top five on the UH career chart after throwing for 16 last year along with 2,924 yards on 256 completions. Kohlhausen, a sophomore, is the only other quarterback on Houston’s roster with FBS experience, after seeing action in three games last year. Junior college transfer Billy Cosh and highly-touted freshmen John O’Korn and Greg Ward Jr. have made their way to the Houston campus and are being given the opportunity to compete for the starting position in 2013. Cosh led Butler Community College to the NJCAA National Championship with 2,856 yards and 25 touchdowns through the air and three rushing TDs. O’Korn was named the Florida Offensive Player of the Year as he led St. Thomas Aquinas to a state title while Ward led Texas’ Class 4A with 4,202 passing yards and 39 touchdowns as a senior.
2013 HOUSTON FOOTBALL MEDIA GUIDE
FOOTBALL 2013 OUTLOOK 2013 SEASON
Freshman Andrew Rodriguez, who received a medical redshirt after appearing in just two games with five receptions for 82 yards, and sophomore Casey Martin (4-20) round out Houston’s returning receivers in 2013. Junior Aaron Johnson is another name to watch in the receiving mix.
Farrow finished second on the team in rushing last season with 466 yards and two touchdowns on 86 carries. The power back picked up three starts and also finished with 20 receptions for 165 yards and a touchdown.
Freshman D’Juan Hines enrolled for the spring semester at Houston and got a jump on an incoming freshman receiver class of four that also includes Demarcus Ayers, Donald Gage III and John Leday.
Jackson had 59 rushing attempts resulting in 252 yards and three touchdowns as a true freshman in 2012. In his lone start of the year, Jackson exploded for 129 yards and two touchdowns on the ground in the season finale against Tulane. Former defensive back Kent Brooks, junior Randall Hollimon and sophomore Justin Hicks also saw time in the spring.
Another position not recently seen in the Third Ward, tight end, will be one that is reintroduced to the Houston offense. Incoming freshmen tight end Chauntez Jackson will have an opportunity at the position in the fall.
Two more running backs enter the competition for carries as incoming freshmen Joseph Glenn and Javin Webb make their way to campus in the fall. The fullback position, a position not seen on the Houston campus in some time, will return in 2013. Former linebackers Xavier Brown and Luke Stice will man the position for the Cougars.
RECEIVERS
Any quarterback would express delight in having 10 of the prior season’s top 13 receivers back. And that’s the case in Houston as returning receivers accounted for 2,415 of Houston’s 3,936 receiving yards in 2012.
Another deep threat for Houston, junior Daniel Spencer averaged 14.1 yards per catch on his 41 receptions for 579 yards. Xavier Maxwell, who had 10 receptions for 179 yards and two touchdowns, also return to the receiving group. A name to keep an eye on is Markeith Ambles, who arrives after a season at Arizona Western following a freshman season at USC.
OFFENSIVE LINE
For the second straight year, Houston returns a multitude of experience along the offensive line losing only one player in its two deep in right guard Jacolby Ashworth. Six players with a total of 92 career starts return led by the left side of the ‘Brick Squad’ tackle Rowdy Harper and guard Ty Cloud. Harper, a junior, and Cloud, a senior both enter 2013 with 26 career starts to their names. Look for the two to be backed up by sophomore Alex Cooper and senior DeAnthony Sims, who has three career starts, respectively. Senior Kevin Forsch has 19 career starts to his name with experience at both center and guard. Forsch began 2012 at center before sliding to right guard after junior Bryce Redman, on the Rimington Trophy watch list, started the final six games of the season in the middle of the line. Junior Austin Lunsford provided depth for Redman at center last season, while sophomore Emeka Okafor did the same at the guard positions.
HISTORY
The returning group is led by sophomore Deontay Greenberry (47 receptions for 564 yards). Greenberry, who is on the Biletnikoff Award watch list, was one of two freshmen receivers named to the Conference USA All-Freshman team as was Larry McDuffey, who led all Cougars with four receiving touchdowns.
Shane Ros, who earned a scholarship after a season that saw him pull in 23 balls for 337 yards and three touchdowns, will miss the season with a torn ACL.

Redshirt-freshman Mac Long could also factor in the o-line mix as well. A sizeable group of three newcomers on the line, that average 6-6 and 329 lbs., arrives in the fall. Junior college transfer Damien Parris joins incoming freshmen Ja’Braylin Thomas and Josh Thomas to form an impressive group of newcomers.
The Defense
A sophomore, Eiland saw limited time as a freshman before exploding for a sack, an interception, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery in the season finale vs. Tulane. Joining Eiland as a newcomer on Houston’s defensive line will be junior college transfer Trevor Harris. The 6-5, 230 lb., transfer from ASA College will be joined by juniors William Moore and Jon Witten.
Defensive coordinator David Gibbs’ previous collegiate stops featured aggressive defenses that were among the nation’s leader in sacks while producing a number of stars in the secondary.
Incoming freshmen Tyus Bowser, Texas’ 4A Defensive Player of the Year, and Nick Thurman also enter the competition on the defensive line in the fall.
While Houston lost two valuable defenders to graduation in D.J. Hayden and Phillip Steward along with a number of defensive linemen, a wealth of talented youngsters return for a defense that will show multiple fronts.
For the first time in four years, the Houston linebackers core won’t feature Phillip Steward, who had started 47 consecutive games prior to graduation.
DEFENSIVE LINE
The unit depleted the most by graduation, the defensive line returns three players with starting experience. The three - Eric Braswell (13), Joey Mbu (8) and Tomme Mark (1) have a combined 22 career starts. A junior, Mbu led all returning defensive linemen with 27 tackles in 2012 while Mark collected 14 tackles on the year while often holding up the point of attack. Mark and Mbu look to hold their positions at the top of the defensive tackle group where they’ll be joined by senior Josh McNeill, junior Jeremiah Farley and redshirt-freshman B.J. Singleton. Braswell is the lone returning defensive end with starting experience. A junior, Braswell has 13 career starts and had 18 tackles last season. He will battle with redshirt-freshman Cameron Malveaux (6-6, 252) who has added much needed strength and size in his first year on campus. Originally a defensive back upon his arrival on the UH campus, Eric Eiland moved to linebacker last year and has continued to add size and strength without compromising his speed with a move to defensive end in 2013.
LINEBACKERS
A new identity emerges for the linebacking group with new position coach Vernon Hargreaves taking over a group that has experience in the middle where Derrick Mathews moves to with his 26 career starts. The junior, who has Freshman All-American honors on his resume, tied for second on the team last season with 126 tackles, 17 of which went for loss including six sacks. Mathews will have depth behind him in sophomore transfer Elandon Roberts, a transfer from Morgan State who was a top candidate for the Jerry Rice Award, given to the nation’s top freshman on the FCS level. On the weakside, senior George Bamfo seemed to have clicked in the spring, showing great improvement and left the session with the starting role. The speedy senior has seen action in 34 career games both on defense and on special teams. Junior Eferm Oliphant, who has played in 23 games including three starts could factor into the mix as well. Vying to replace Steward on the strongside will be redshirt-freshman Steve Taylor, senior Austin Wilson, who has experience in 31 games, freshman Caleb Tucker and redshirt-freshman Davonte Thomas. Houston product Tyler McCloskey also joins the linebacking group in the fall.

FOOTBALL 2013 OUTLOOK 2013 SEASON
Possibly the most experienced of any group in the Houston program this spring, the secondary returns all four starters from 2012’s season finale. The group’s most experienced member is senior corner Zach McMillian, who started every game at the position last season and now has 25 career starts. The Missouri City, Texas, native earned honorable mention All-Conference USA honors last season after leading the league with five interceptions. Following the season-ending injury of D.J. Hayden, Thomas Bates stepped into the starting role in the other corner position and finished the year with three straight starts en route to leading the squad with 10 pass breakups.
The safety positions will be manned by two sophomores who saw considerable time as true freshmen. Trevon Stewart earned FWAA Freshman All-America honors after starting the final 10 games of the year at strong safety. The Patterson, La., native led all freshmen nationally with 126 tackles while breaking up seven passes. A high school quarterback, McDonald was a jack-of-all-trades for the Houston secondary in 2012, moving from nickel back to corner to safety. With three starts on the year, McDonald picked off two passes and finished with 35 tackles.
The group added six with junior college transfers Kent London, Marcus Dillard and William Jackson, Boise State transfer Lee Hightower and freshman Nomluis Fruge joining the camp in the fall.
KICKER
Punter Richie Leone handled the kicking in the spring and will be backed up by highly-touted freshman kicker Ty Cummings entering the fall. Sophomore Kyle Bullard also returns for Houston.
PUNTER
Leone prides himself as a valuable asset in the field position game, whether by booming a punt over 50 yards, which he has done 38 times in his career or placing a punt inside the 20-yard line, like he did on 18 of his 60 punts in 2012. He’ll look to do the same in 2013 as he enters the year on the Ray Guy Award watch list. Leone will be backed up for a second straight year by sophomore Sam Martin.
RETURNERS
Tony Levine and special teams coordinator Jamie Christian will have plenty of options when it comes to the return game. Four of the top five punt returners will be back in 2013 while seven of the eight kick returners with multiple returns in 2012 do as well. Junior Damian Payne leads all returning punt returners with nine returns for 33 yards but will give way to Larry McDuffey. In the kick return game, Ryan Jackson led all with 14 returns for 304 yards. Daniel Spencer had four returns for 69 yards while Kenneth Farrow had three for 128 yards and McDuffey three for 63 yards.
DEEP SNAPPER
Sophomore Nolan Frese takes over for departed senior Brandon Hartson who held the starting position for four straight years.
HISTORY
Redshirt-freshmen Steven Aikens and Jarrett Irving have shown promise at the position as well and will battle sophomore Earl Foster and senior Colton Valencia for spots on the Houston depth chart.
Houston will look to replace two vital parts of its special teams - kicker Matt Hogan and deep snapper Brandon Hartson, both four-year starters.

The two will be backed up by junior college transfer Turon Walker and redshirtfreshman Brandon Wilson while senior Alex Tillman joins the mix as well.

A New Era in Houston Athletics A new era in Houston Athletics will open in August of 2014 when the Houston Football Stadium opens for play.
Views exclusive to the club area give those fans an opportunity to watch team members travel from the locker room to the field.
The University of Houston broke ground on the state-of-the-art stadium that will sit on the location of Houston’s former home, Robertson Stadium, on Feb. 8, 2013.
Twenty-six premium seats, each containing 12 outside padded arm chairs, four inside bar stools and an entertainment area, will span from end zone to end zone on the south side with 34 loge boxes each containing four seats located throughout the stadium.
The 70-year old Robertson Stadium was torn down in December of 2012 just two weeks after Houston’s final home game of the year to make way for the new $105 million stadium. Designed by PageSoutherlandPage and the DLR Group to showcase the Houston skyline in the northwest corner of the stadium to remind all visitors and television audiences that UH is the University of Houston, the stadium is being constructed by Manhattan Construction, a well-known firm in Houston having constructed both Reliant Stadium, home of the NFL’s Houston Texans, and BBVA Compass Stadium, home of MLS’ Houston Dynamo. With seating available for at least 40,000, the Houston Football Stadium will provide Houston fans an exciting gameday experience including 5,000 premium seating options and a stylish 12,400-square foot club space overlooking the field of play on the stadium’s south side.
Four open-air party decks and two open-air party suites at different locations throughout the stadium offer Houston Football fans spectacular views of the game while providing a comfortable and unique experience to entertain family and friends on game day. Houston’s state-of-the-art 5,000-square foot home locker room will be located at the southeast corner of the stadium next to the Bert F. Winston Band and Performance Center, a 39,089-square foot building on the east end of the Houston Football Stadium housing the Spirit of Houston Band Recital Halls and classroom spaces, gallery multi-purpose area and UH Athletics Ticket Office.

FOOTBALL HOUSTON ATHLETICS Vice President for Intercollegiate Athletics Fifth Year at Houston
Houston Athletics Senior Staff
Mack Rhoades became the 11th director of athletics in University of Houston history with his hiring in June 2009 after an award-winning career at the University of Akron. With his vision of an award-winning Athletics Department, both academically and athletically, Rhoades has electrified the University and City of Houston with his bold plans for Houston Athletics as its brand continues to spread nationally.

Working with Dr. Renu Khator, Rhoades successfully steered Houston into a new era as the University was invited in December of 2011 to join The American Athletic Conference beginning with the 2013-14 academic year. One year later the demolition of Robertson Stadium signified another new period of Houston Athletics as it kicked off the construction of the $105 million, state-of-the-art, on-campus Houston Football Stadium set to open in August of 2014. The facility will join the Dave Williams Golf Academy at Redstone Golf Club as new structures under Rhoades’ watch while planned renovations of Hofheinz Pavilion and other facilities are currently in the works. His impact was immediately seen in 2009-10 during his first season as he led the Athletics Department to unprecedented heights. Under his watch, the football program returned to the national rankings - rising as high as No. 12 - the men’s track and field teams swept the indoor and outdoor titles and the men’s basketball team won its first Conference USA Tournament crown. The three conference titles marked the first of eight in Rhoades’ first three years on campus. Under his direction, Houston teams have advanced to postseason competition 28 times while 31 individuals have earned All-America honors. The fall of 2011 season saw Houston reach heights it had never visited before as Houston football set a season record with 13 wins and a No. 6 national ranking while the UH campus became the first ever Conference USA program to have ESPN Gameday broadcast live from it. Those accolades also extended into the classroom. The conclusion of the 2012 fall semester saw Houston Athletics post record academic achievements with its highest ever fall semester grade point average, 2.92, and its highest overall cumulative GPA, 2.87, to date. In addition to the best GPAs in program history, a record 75 athletes were named to the University of Houston’s Dean’s List while the 13.9 hours passed per student in the fall semester also marked a UH best. Of the 344 studentathletes under scholarship at UH, 333, or 97 percent, are in good academic standing, also a department record. Eight sports boasted record fall semester GPAs – baseball, men’s basketball, football, golf, softball, swimming and diving, tennis and men’s track and field/ cross country – while seven reached a program high in cumulative GPA – baseball, football, golf, softball, swimming and diving, tennis and men’s track and field/cross country. Rhoades also has been a leader in the development of the Cougar Pride Leadership Academy. As one of just a handful across the nation, the program brings student-athletes together as freshmen through to graduation with activities that promote the complete person.

THE AMERICAN
22
The American Athletic Conference The University of Houston took another historic step on July 1, 2013, as it officially became a member of The American Athletic Conference, its sixth athletic conference in the 67-year history of the University’s athletics program. The move signified the end of Houston’s 17-year run in Conference USA. During the Conference USA era, Houston student-athletes combined for 162 All-America honors, 148 NCAA postseason appearances and 59 Conference USA titles. Houston’s first conference membership was with the Lone Star Conference (1946-48) before a one-year stint in 1949 with the Gulf Coast Conference. After a year of independence in 1950, Houston spent nine years in the Missouri Valley Conference before 16 additional years as an independent. In 1976, Houston began a 20-year stint in the Southwest Conference before joining Conference USA in 1996. Not entirely unlike the nation that provides its namesake, the American Athletic Conference was born from an ideal in which members with ambitious goals are provided with the means to succeed in their quests for excellence.
With roots that extend to three conferences, the American Athletic Conference membership in 2013 - its debut season - consists of 10 institutions: the University of Central Florida, the University of Cincinnati, the University of Connecticut, the University of Houston, the University of Louisville, the University of Memphis, Rutgers University, Southern Methodist University, the University of South Florida and Temple University. In 2014-15, East Carolina University, Tulane University and the University of Tulsa come aboard. The 2015-16 season sees the U.S. Naval Academy join the ranks in football only. The American, which operated as the Big East Conference from 1979 to 2013, will immediately take a place at the forefront of Division I athletics with schools that have played in a combined five Bowl Championship Series games, won four NCAA men’s basketball titles since 1999 and won eight NCAA women’s basketball championships since 1995. Among the league’s 2013 members, seven of The American’s 10 football teams have been ranked in the top 13 in the BCS since 2006. Eight of the 10 teams have been in the BCS top 25 in that span. The 2013-14 membership will also include the most recent NCAA men’s basketball (Louisville) and women’s basketball (UConn) champions.

TONY LEVINE TONY LEVINE
Head Coach Minnesota ‘96 Second Season as Head Coach (6-7 record) Sixth Season at Houston • Tony Levine enters his second season as the head coach at the University of Houston Football. • Introduced as the 12th head coach in Houston history on Dec. 22, 2011, Levine made an emphatic national statement in his opening game as the UH head coach, belting No. 22 Penn State, 30-14, in the 2012 TicketCity Bowl to cap a memorable season filled with broken statistical records and milestone victories. • Levine took over at UH two weeks before that Jan. 2 bowl contest in Dallas and unveiled a prepared squad that held Penn State to just two scores and produced a Cotton Bowl Stadium record 532 yards of passing vs. the nation’s No. 4-ranked pass defense. The victory helped UH to a school-record 13th win (tops in the nation) and first January bowl victory since the 1979 campaign. Levine led the Cougars to an end-of-season national ranking for the first time since 1990 and was the first UH head coach to open his career with a win vs. a nationally-ranked opponent since Harold Lahar in 1957. • The St. Paul, Minn., native directed Houston in its final season of play in Conference USA and will lead the team’s transition into The American Athletic Conference, one of just six automatic qualifying conferences for the Bowl Championship Series in 2013. • While 2012 was Levine’s first full season as head coach, he is certainly no stranger to the Houston community. The former collegiate wide receiverspent the previous four seasons before his promotion on the UH staff, including his final two as assistant head coach. • The 40-year old has spent 17 years in the coaching ranks, including stints at all levels of football, from a high school stop in his home state of Minnesota, to a two-year stop with the Carolina Panthers of the NFL. • The 2012 season saw 13 Houston players earn All-Conference USA honors and Trevon Stewart named to the FWAA Freshman All-American team. Three Houston players - D.J. Hayden (interceptions per game), Richie Leone (punting average) and Phillip Steward (sacks) led the Conference in their respective categories. Leone tied the Houston singleseason record with an average of 45.5 yards per punt while Matt Hogan set the Conference USA career scoring record with 405 points. • In November 2011, CBSSports.com’s Bruce Feldman named Levine one of the nation’s 10 fastest-rising assistant coaches. • During Levine’s tenure at UH, the special teams units reached unprecedented heights, highlighted by 17 blocked kicks, eight kickoff returns for touchdowns and six forced turnovers. Those groups also have tied/broken seven NCAA records and set 11 school marks.
HISTORY
• From 2008-11, the eight kickoff returns for touchdowns were the second most by any FBS school over the time period, while the 16 blocked kicks ranked among the national leaders during that same period.
24
• Houston has been explosive as a return unit during Levine’s tenure and had three returns for scores in 2011, including Tyron Carrier’s seventh career kickoff return for a score (tied an NCAA record) and two punt return scores by two different returners in the road win at Tulane. Hogan also broke the NCAA record with 78 consecutive extra points made in a season. • The 2010 season saw the Cougars return a punt, kickoff and a blocked field goal for touchdowns. Punt returner Patrick Edwards finished seventh in the nation and first in C-USA with a 15.4 yard per return average, while Houston finished ninth nationally with a 14.3 yard per return mark. Wesley Scourten finished the 2010 season with five blocked kicks and eight for his career -- both school records -- while Carrier brought his career kickoff return touchdown total to six before adding No. 7 in 2011
• Offensively in 2010, the Cougars finished 11th in the nation in total offense (480.5 ypg), fifth in passing offense (327.3 ypg) and 13th in scoring offense (37.7 ppg). Inside receiver James Cleveland finished his two-year career with 161 catches for 2,014 yards and 20 touchdowns, all which rank in the school’s top-10 all-time list • In 2009, Cleveland (1,214 yards) and Carrier (1,029 yards) each surpassed the 1,000yard receiving mark, while tight end Fendi Onobun became a sixth-round draft pick of the NFL’s St. Louis Rams. Onobun also tied an NCAA single-game record with two blocked PATs against C-USA foe Southern Miss, one of which led to a key defensive conversion in a 50-43 win • Offensively, the Cougars ranked first nationally in total offense (563.4 ypg), passing offense (433.7 ypg) and scoring offense (42.2 ppg) in 2009. • Levine tutored Hogan, who was named a Freshman All-American by Sporting News and was a C-USA All-Freshman Special Teams selection. The Cougars also tied an NCAA record by returning five kickoffs for touchdowns and tied a school single-season mark with six blocked kicks. • In 2008, Levine coached tight end Mark Hafner to an All-Conference USA Second Team selection and career highs in catches (86), receiving yards (907) and touchdowns (11). Carrier was also named to the All-C-USA Second Team after catching 80 passes for 1,026 yards and nine touchdowns. • Statistically, the Cougar offense finished second in the country in both total offense (562.8 ypg) and passing (401.6 ypg) and 10th in scoring (40.6 ppg). Also under Levine, punter Chase Turner earned a spot on the All-C-USA Honorable Mention list after averaging 45.5 yards per punt. Turner’s mark was a single-season school record, while the team’s net punting average of 36.5 yards was also the highest in school history. The Cougars finished the season ranked 34th in the country in net punting, up from 114th (31.2) in 2007, prior to Levine’s arrival. • Houston’s kickoff coverage defense ranked 22nd nationally, yielding a mere 18.96 yards per return on 92 kickoffs, while the Cougars blocked five kicks (three field goals, two punts). • Before coming to Houston, Levine spent two seasons with the NFL’s Carolina Panthers, serving as the assistant special teams and assistant strength and conditioning coach. While at Carolina, Levine coached one of the best specialist units in the NFL in kicker John Kasay, punter Jason Baker and long snapper Jason Kyle. In 2006, the Panthers led the NFC with a net punting average of 38.8 yards while Baker’s 39.0 net punting average set a Panthers team record. Baker’s 31 punts inside the 20 were also tops in the NFC, and he ranked second overall with a 45.7-yard gross average. Kasay produced his most accurate season as well in 2006, converting a career-best 88.9 percent of his field goals (24-of-27). • Prior to Carolina, Levine coached at the University of Louisville, where he played an integral role in the Cardinals’ success for three seasons. During his stay in Louisville, the Cardinals posted an impressive 29-8 overall record, including an 11-1 record and a No. 6 national ranking in 2004. • Levine began as director of football operations at Louisville in 2003, where he was responsible for the overall day-to-day operation of the school’s football program in coach Bobby Petrino’s first year as head coach. In 2004 he was named special teams coordinator and outside linebackers coach and made an immediate impact on the field. Under Levine’s tutelage, the Cardinals ranked near the top in Conference USA in almost all special teams statistics, while Louisville’s defense finished 15th nationally in total defense, 18th in rush defense, 24th in scoring defense and 30th in pass defense. • Superlatives from his two seasons as special teams coach at Louisville included seven blocked kicks, three punt returns for touchdowns and an NCAA single-season record of 77 consecutive extra points by kicker Art Carmody. Carmody, a former walk-on, was also named First-Team All-Big East under Levine and went on to win the 2006 Lou Groza Award as the nation’s top collegiate kicker. Carmody finished his playing career as the NCAA’s all-time leading scorer for a kicker with 433 points.

What They’re Saying
“I’m so pleased to be able to announce Tony Levine as our new head coach. Before we began this process we talked about the characteristics we wanted in the leader of our football program and Tony embodies each of those qualities. We spoke with former players, current student-athletes and interviewed some of the top football coaches in the country, and all of our talks led us right back to Tony. We consistently talk about building a program and building upon our culture here at UH and when you have the perfect fit right here on staff, you feel fortunate. But we still wanted to do our due diligence. We talked to some great folks, some people that are already outstanding Division I head coaches, but the best fit for UH is Tony Levine.” - Mack Rhoades, Houston’s Vice President for Intercollegiate Athletics “I’m extremely happy for Tony. He worked for me as a young coach, and I knew very quickly that he was going to be a star in our profession. One thing about Tony, he has paid his dues. He went from playing at the college level to a graduate assistant, to working in the NFL and back to college. He worked his way up, and that’s rare for young guys in our profession nowadays. That work ethic, organization and determination will help him be successful. I wish him all the best.” - Tommy Tuberville, Texas Tech head coach “I couldn’t be more excited for Tony and his family. He has prepared for this opportunity all his life, and he is ready. His experience in both collegiate and professional football and his role as assistant head coach over the last few years has made him ready to direct the UH program. One thing about Tony, he has worked with players in every phase of the game. He is a tremendous recruiter and has developed great relationships in the city of Houston. He can manage players and personalities, which is crucial for a head coach, and we know he can make decisions in critical moments. Knowing him as both a player and as a coach, I couldn’t be happier for Tony and the University of Houston.” - Kevin Sumlin, Texas A&M head coach // former Houston head coach “I’m so happy for Coach Levine and his family. It goes without saying that we have a tremendous amount of respect for him and for how he approaches both coaching and life. He is an outstanding football coach, but he is an even better husband and father, and that’s something I really respect. I hope I have the opportunity to coach for him one day.” - Case Keenum, Houston quarterback (2007-11) “This was a great hire. I have so much respect for Coach Levine and what he means to us not only as a football coach but also as a teacher of men. Our program is going in the right direction, and it’s great for our younger guys that we can keep it in the family. Our entire team is excited about the hire and that tells me a lot. We are happy about the outcome, and I am happy that so many more people will have a chance to know Coach Levine like we know him.” - Justin Johnson, Houston wide receiver (2007-11) “He will do an outstanding job, and I really like the fact he is familiar with our program. To me it was important to have someone familiar with our program be our next head coach because he will appreciate the history we have. I wish him all the best.” - Audray McMillian, former Houston and NFL great “I just can’t tell you how happy I am right now for Coach Levine. He came to Louisiana Tech my junior year (2002) and he brought with him a discipline that helped keep us in line. He was the reason I turned my academics around from very poor to much better. He stayed on me, the tight ends and the other specialists about being responsible on the football field, and more importantly, off the field. I gained a lot of respect for him for that, and it’s great to see him rewarded for all the hard work he has put in. I couldn’t be more happy for Coach Levine.” - Josh Scobee, Jacksonville Jaguars placekicker (2004-present)

• Gibbs has been part of a coaching staff that has played in a bowl game in seven of his 11 years on the collegiate level. The latest came in his last collegiate coaching stop when he served as defensive coordinator at Auburn in 2005. The Tiger defense ranked sixth nationally in scoring defense, allowing just 15.5 points per game, while ranking 11th in sacks with 39 and 16th in third-down defense. • On the professional level, Gibbs spent a combined nine seasons in Denver, Kansas City and Houston as a defensive backs coach. Teams sporting Gibbs on staff finished in the top 12 of total defense five times and advanced to the NFL Playoffs on three occasions. Three players under Gibbs earned NFL Pro Bowl selections in Champ Bailey, John Lynch and Deltha O’Neal. • Gibbs received his NFL start in Denver where in his first year the Denver defense ranked No. 6 in the league in interceptions and No. 9 in total defense. In 2002 the defense improved to No. 6 in total defense and No. 3 in passing touchdowns allowed. • The following two years saw Denver advance to the playoffs as the Broncos ranked fourth in the NFL in total defense both years. Both years saw the squad finish sixth in passing defense and in the top 10 of scoring defense. • In his return to the NFL in 2006, Gibbs assisted a Kansas City defense that improved in one season from 25th in total defense to 12th. In 2007, the Chiefs improved to No. 5 in the league in passing defense while ranking fourth in passing touchdowns allowed. The team allowed just one 300-yard passer in each of his first two seasons in Kansas City. After helping the 2008 Kansas City defense to finish ninth in turnovers forced, Gibbs moved to Houston where the Texans’ pass defense improved seven spots to 10th in the league in passing defense in his first year. • Gibbs became the youngest coordinator on the FBS level at the time as the then 29-year old took over as a defensive coordinator at Minnesota in 1997. Gibbs improved a Minnesota defense that had ranked last in the Big Ten in 1996 to one that was ranked eighth in the nation in pass efficiency defense and scoring defense by 1999. • His defense helped lead the Golden Gophers to back-to-back bowl games in 1999 and 2000. Players from Gibbs’ span at the school (1997-2000) currently own 17 individual defensive records at Minnesota while his 1997 group holds the team record with 41 sacks in a season.

HOUSTON -- Houston suffered a 30-13 setback at the hands of Texas State in its season opener in front of 32,207 fans at Robertson Stadium. Texas State jumped ahead early as Curry caught a 21-yard pass from Rutherford to cap an eight-play, 65-yard drive. The Cougars countered with a 50-yard field goal from Matt Hogan, matching his career high from 2009, but the Bobcats quickly answered on the first play of the next drive when Curry broke free for a 73-yard touchdown scamper to increase the Texas State advantage to 14-3 midway through the opening quarter. Houston again cut into the Bobcat lead late in the first quarter when Piland found Larry McDuffey across the middle, racing 64 yards to the end zone on his first-career play from scrimmage. The Cougars continued to play stellar defense after the break, limiting the Bobcats to just one rushing yard in the third quarter, but the offense couldn’t find a rhythm as the clock wound down.

92 2013 HOUSTON FOOTBALL GUIDE
HOUSTON -- Despite a career performance from Houston quarterback David Piland, the Cougars couldn’t overcome a slow start in a 56-49 loss to Louisiana Tech at Robertson Stadium. Piland threw for a career-high and Robertson Stadium-record 580 yards and four touchdowns and completed 53 passes on a school-record 77 attempts. The sophomore set an NCAA record for pass attempts without an interception, formerly held by Houston great Case Keenum. Piland hit freshman wide receiver Deontay Greenberry in the back of the end zone for a 12-yard score to move Houston to within a touchdown with 35 seconds left. However, the Cougars were called for touching the ball before it traveled 10 yards on the ensuing onsides kick to end the comeback. Score by Quarters Louisiana Tech Houston Qtr 1st 2nd 3rd 4th

HOUSTON -- Charles Sims rushed for 158 yards and a career-high three touchdowns to lead the Houston to a 35-14 win against Rice inside Reliant Stadium. With the win, the Cougars snapped a three-game losing skid and improved to 1-3. More importantly, Houston improved to 1-0 in Conference USA play and won their league opener for the sixth time in the last seven seasons. While the Cougar offense put Houston on the board, the defense was equally impressive early as Rice managed only 120 yards through the first 30 minutes. It was a Houston opponent’s lowest offensive output in the first half since the Cougars limited #22 Penn State to 115 yards at the 2012 TicketCity Bowl on Jan. 2. Houston continued to pour on the offense in the second half but went to the rushing game. Sims burst into the end zone from three yards out early in the third quarter and broke the game open with a 47-yard scamper on the Cougars’ next possession for a 28-0 Houston lead with 7:33 left. With the win, Houston won its second straight game against Rice, a first since the 200607 seasons. The Cougars also scored at least 31 points for the eighth consecutive game against the Owls. While the offense was compiling impressive numbers, the Cougar defense was equally superb. With a 14-0 advantage at the break, Houston held an opponent scoreless in the opening half for the first time since leading SMU 13-0 on Nov. 19, 2011.

PASADENA, Calif. -- Houston’s David Piland completed 28 of 60 passes for 249 yards with five interceptions, but No. 22 UCLA’s hard-hitting defense held high-scoring Houston as the Bruins beat the Cougars 37-6. Johnathan Franklin, the nation’s leading rusher, gained 110 yards on 25 carries, Sheldon Price tied a school record with three of UCLA’s five interceptions, and Ka’imi Fairbairn kicked three field goals to help the unbeaten Bruins earn their third straight victory under first-year coach Jim Mora. Piland’s 86-yard run with 4:54 remaining kept the Cougars from being shut out for the first time in nearly 12 years. The teams combined for 11 turnovers - six by Houston. The Bruins led 17-0 after a dominant first half. The lead might have been bigger but for three second-quarter turnovers in Houston territory. UCLA went ahead for good on the game’s second play when linebacker Eric Kendricks returned Piland’s errant backward pass intended for Ronnie Williams 23 yards for a touchdown. Houston was unable to capitalize after recovering fumbles at its 31 and 29 on the two consecutive UCLA possessions. The Cougars crossed midfield for the first time after the second recovery, but Matt Hogan was wide left on a 46-yard field goal.

HOUSTON -- The University of Houston Football team dropped a 41-7 decision to Tulsa in its Homecoming contest at Robertson Stadium. The Cougars fell to 4-6 overall and 3-3 in Conference USA play, while the Golden Hurricane improved to 8-2 on the season and remained unbeaten in league action with a 6-0 mark. Eight different Houston receivers caught a pass on Saturday, led by freshman Deontay Greenberry’s five receptions for 49 yards. Fellow freshman running back Ryan Jackson also hauled in two catches and his first receiving touchdown midway through the fourth quarter for the Cougars’ lone points of the night. Houston donned commemorative Homecoming uniforms that featured a No. 2 on the side of each helmet in honor of senior defensive back D.J. Hayden. The cornerback was seriously injured Tuesday following a collision with a teammate in practice and has been hospitalized since. Score by Quarters Tulsa Houston

HOUSTON -- Crawford Jones threw for 368 yards and two touchdowns and Ryan Jackson added 129 yards and two scores on the ground to lead the University of Houston football team to a 40-17 victory over Tulane in the final home game at Robertson Stadium. The Cougars wasted no time in getting on the board, as redshirt freshman running back Kenneth Farrow broke a 48-yard run on the first play from scrimmage and Jones found senior receiver Ronnie Williams for a 22-yard touchdown in a drive that lasted just 51 seconds. On the ensuing Tulane possession, senior linebacker Phillip Steward snagged his third interception of the season at Houston’s own 20-yard line, and the Cougars marched 80 yards on eight plays, capped by another touchdown strike to Williams on a nine-yard screen pass.
COACHING STAFF
HUNTINGTON, W.Va. -- Making his first career start at quarterback, Crawford Jones threw for 316 yards and five touchdowns on 31-of-44 passing in the Cougars loss at Marshall. Third downs favored the Thundering Herd with the MU offense converting 13-of-22 attempts and while the Houston offense managed to convert just 5-of-17 drives. Houston was 4-of-4 on fourth downs. The Houston offense punted their first possession before roaring back with five straight scoring drives, with four touchdowns scored in a row, to cut the lead. Two of those touchdown drives totaled 39 combined seconds. After clawing their way back into the game, Houston tied the game on two occasions in the fourth quarter but each time Marshall answered with a score of their own. With 1:18 left on the clock, Houston tied Marshall with a 28-yard field goal but Marshall won the game on their next drive with a 45-yard field goal with seven seconds left on the clock.

Elston’s 27-yard pass to Lonell Phea on third-and-six to the Nebraska Attendance: 72,000 15 proved to be the key play of the drive. Through the next two quarters, the teams traded punts and turnovers with neither team reaching its opponents’ 30. The entire third quarter, in fact, was a series of “three and outs.” Then Houston embarked on a 59-yard, 13-play drive that resulted in a 41-yard Hatfield field goal. Again, Elston hit Phea for a gain of 20 on the drive, which reached the Nebraska 24 before Hatfield’s kick. Houston took a 10-7 lead with 8:25 left. Houston forced another Nebraska punt, but gave the ball back one play later when Newhouse fumbled. From first down on the Houston 31, the Cornhuskers drove to the six, where Quinn hit tight end Jeff Finn with a six-yard touchdown pass. Dean Sukup added the extra point to give NU a 14-10 lead with less than four minutes to play. Starting on its own 34, the Cougars began a purposeful march downfield. Twice, they converted on third downs until reaching the Nebraska 20 with 59 seconds to play. An Elston to Herring hookup gained 11, but the next three plays netted just five yards, and the Cougars faced fourth-and-goal from the six with 19 seconds left. Then Elston found Herring cutting across the goal line for the touchdown, and Hatfield added the extra point to give UH a come-from-behind Cotton Bowl victory of its own.

The Cougars’ next possession ended in a fumble, and Sims soon broke a 30-yard run for a score and a 27-7 Oklahoma lead. Houston answered with its last touchdown of the day, going 74 yards on 13 plays. Donald Jordan scored on a six-yard run and Mike Clendenen added the point after, but UH trailed 27-14 with less than three minutes remaining. Oklahoma recovered UH’s onside kick attempt and Sims ripped off another long run, this one of 48 yards, to set up Ron Mills’ two-yard score. Keeling missed the PAT, but it was the only thing that went wrong for OU in the quarter. The Sooners scored their final touchdown on a 28-yard interception return by defensive end John Truitt, ending a nightmare quarter for Houston. Shepard was named the game’s MVP. Houston ended its season, the third straight in which it went to a bowl game, with a 7-4-1 record.
Heisman Trophy winner Doug Flutie brought his Boston College Eagles to Dallas, but it was the rushing of Flutie’s backfield mates that proved the difference in BC’s 45-28 victory over Houston in the 49th Annual Cotton Bowl.

Boston College added two touchdowns to extend its lead to 31-7. Flutie hit Gerard Phelan, who caught seven passes in the first half, over the middle for a 13-yard touchdown after driving BC 53 yards in five plays. UH quarterback Gerald Landry was then intercepted on Houston’s next play, and once again Boston College capitalized. Strachan scored on a two-yard run after Flutie had picked up 27 yards on a scramble to the two. Houston came back before the half when Landry hit Larry Shepherd with a 15-yard touchdown pass. Landry’s 38-yard completion to tight end Carl Hilton was the biggest play of the UH scoring drive. The Cougars made it close in the third. After five punts to start the period, Houston mounted a scoring march, thanks to a 26-yard Landry to Hilton completion and a 33-yard run by Raymond Tate to set up Tate’s two-yard touchdown jaunt. Then, Audrey McMillian intercepted a Flutie pass at the Boston College 25 and took it back for the touchdown, bringing the Cougars within three at 31-28. On Houston’s next possession, a couple of costly penalties hurt the Cougars and slowed their momentum. Boston College, uncharacteristically, went to its running game, and nine straight rushes resulted in a four-yard Strachan touchdown and a 38-28 BC lead. Another turnover stopped the Cougars and they were unable to take advantage of Flutie’s second interception of the half. Stradford provided the final margin when he scored on an 18-yard run with 1:08 remaining. Hilton caught five passes for 97 yards for UH, which finished the season with a 7-5 record.

The second half was far less eventful as both teams went scoreless in the third quarter. It was not until the clock read 13:52 in the final period that Syracuse’s McNabb scored his second touchdown of the day, on a two-yard run, to give the Orangemen a 23-14 lead. Houston was only able to put three more points on the board as Sebastian Villarreal hit a 23yard field goal with 10:50 left in the game. As it turned out, the ground game of Syracuse was just too much for the Cougar defense. Thomas rushed into the endzone from six yards out to put an end to the day’s scoring at 30-17.

Broussard bobbled a handoff and fumbled at the UH five, but WSU flanker Victor Wood recovered and took the ball the remaining five yards for the touchdown. After forcing a Houston punt, WSU started on an 80-yard drive. Rosenbach hit Wood from 15 yards out with 8:39 left in the half, and Jason Hanson’s PAT made it WSU 14, UH 3. Ware’s next pass was intercepted and returned to the Houston 15. Hanson’s 33-yard field goal extended the Cougars’ lead to 17-3. Houston pulled to within eight on its next possession when Ware hit Jason Phillips for a 44yard completion and Chuck Weatherspoon scored on a one-yard run for UH’s first touchdown of the day. However, Roman Anderson missed what would prove to be a crucial extra point attempt following Weatherspoon’s score. Washington State answered with a 10-play, 75-yard drive before halftime. Rosenbach scored from the one, and WSU led 24-9 at the break. Houston’s Cougars were not able to mount a drive in the third quarter until David Dacus replaced Ware with 6:07 on the clock. He quickly hit Kevin Mason with a 53-yard bomb down the right sideline. After a failed conversion pass, Houston trailed 24-15. Washington State penetrated to the Houston eight, where Alton Montgomery stepped in front of a Rosenbach pass at the goal line and took it all the way back to the WSU 28 for a 72-yard return. Weatherspoon and Dacus combined to take the Cougars the rest of the way, with Weatherspoon earning the touchdown on a shovel pass from Dacus. After the Anderson PAT, Houston trailed by two with 13:16 left in the game. Washington State’s next drive stalled on the UH 34, where Rosenbach’s pass on fourth and three fell incomplete. Houston was unable to sustain a drive and the teams exchanged punts. Houston got the ball back with 5:16 left and drove from its own 20 to the WSU 31. From there, Dacus hit Dixon with a 21-yard pass to the 10. Dixon eluded one tackle, but was hit by linebacker Tuineau Alipate and fumbled. The ball rolled to the five, where it was recovered by WSU’s Artie Holmes with 2:44 left. WSU ran out the clock to secure the 24-22 victory.

Our guys played hard, they fought hard, they believed. That’s an inspiration to me as a coach,” head coach Art Briles said after the game. The two teams combined for 1,039 yards of total offense, the most ever in Liberty Bowl history. Houston gained 527 yards and the Gamecocks had 512. Kolb was named Houston’s Outstanding Offensive Player after completing 26-of-39 passes for 386 yards and three touchdowns. With his three tackles, one interception and one pass break up, Willie Gaston was named Houston’s Outstanding Defensive Player.

After Houston was held without a Attendance: 41,414 touchdown before halftime, Tyron Carrier returned the opening kickoff of the second half 79 yards for his fourth TD this season. He took the ball near the left sideline, then ran to the middle of the field before shooting through a gap and running untouched to get the Cougars within 24-13. Air Force immediately responded with its first kickoff return for a touchdown since 1985. Jonathan Warzeka fielded the ball and stepped back into the end zone before running 100 yards. Five Houston players got their hands on him, but couldn’t get him down. According to STATS LLC, which has such data only since 1996, it was only the sixth game in that span involving FBS teams when there were kickoff returns for touchdowns on consecutive plays. None of them had been in a bowl game. After the kickoff returns, Keenum threw a 10-yard TD to Patrick Edwards to make it 31-20, but that was all the Cougars got. That gave Keenum a TD pass in 30 consecutive games , but this was the first time in that streak that he had more picks than scores. The Cougars entered the Fort Worth Bowl leading the nation in total yards (581) while averaging 44 points. They managed only 331 total yards against the Falcons. Air Force had allowed only 149 yards passing a game this season, even after giving up 377 in its regular-season finale at BYU. Clark’s 22-yard TD midway through the second quarter, when he took a pitch to the right and ran untouched to the end zone, made it 21-3. The only pass on that 11-play drive was a 13-yard completion by Jefferson, who by then was 5 of 5 for 71 yards, 10 more than Keenum. When Jefferson slipped down trying to run on third-and-goal from the 2 with 17 seconds and no timeouts left just before halftime, he quickly got the offense off the field and the kicking team got out in time for Erik Soderberg’s 27-yard field goal that made it 24-6.

Smith 2-0, Team 1-(-1). how we end up,” Keenum said. “Thirteen Passing – UH: Keenum 45-69-0-632; PSU: Bolden 7-26-3-137, and one, I hope we end up in the top 15 Belton 0-1-0-0. in the country.” Receiving – UH: J. Johnson 12-148, Edwards 10-228, Carrier 9-44, “I thought the guys came out and R. Williams 6-58, Sims 5-30, E.J. Smith 2-13, Hayes 1-11; they played hard. It’s been a difficult year PSU: D. Smith 2-49, S. Green 2-6, J. Brown 1-69, Haplea 1-12, for them,” Penn State interim coach Tom Suhey 1-1. Bradley said. “It just didn’t go our way.” Attendance: 46,817 The Nittany Lions (9-4) were picked apart by Keenum. Penn State was allowing 162 yards passing per game, but Keenum threw for more than double that by halftime. The Cougars raced out to a 17-0 lead in the first quarter behind Keenum’s record-setting period. According to TicketCity officials, Louisville’s Browning Nagle had the old mark with 223 yards against Alabama in the first quarter of the 1991 Fiesta Bowl. Keenum worked the spread offense to perfection, with five different Cougars catching at least five balls. Patrick Edwards, one of the country’s leading receivers, had 228 yards and two scores in the last game of his collegiate career. Justin Johnson had 12 catches for 148 yards. Keenum is the ninth player in bowl history to pass for at least 500 yards. He thought he could have done better. “We left a lot out there,” Keenum said. “There were a lot of throws I missed.” Houston came into the game determined to end the season on a high note having its BCS Bowl hopes dashed on Dec. 3. The undefeated Cougars fell to Southern Miss in the Conference USA championship game, costing UH a shot at the school’s first BCS bid. “That was the fluke,” Levine said of the lone loss, “and not the 12 wins leading up to it.” Penn State quarterback Rob Bolden finished 7 of 26 passing for 137 yards, with three interceptions. Houston wanted Bolden, the backup quarterback all season, to air it out as much as possible. “We know they were going to try to run the ball,” Cougars linebacker Marcus McGraw said. “We just wanted to get them in second and long, third and long, and wanted them to pass the ball knowing they had a second-string quarterback.”
