A historic number is up.
The Cougars announced Wednesday that no other Cougar football player — besides quarterbacks David Klingler and Case Keenum — will be No. 7 following the 2016 season. This action will take effect on Oct. 29 when the team faces the University of Central Florida Knights.
Klinger and Keenum are two of the most accomplished quarterbacks in NCAA history. Klingler sported the number from 1988 to 1991 while Keenum wore it from 2006 to 2011.
Together, the duo owns 32 NCAA records.
Keenum played six seasons with the Cougars after redshirting his freshman season and a medical waiver in his junior season.
