This is not the season that Houston expected.
The Houston Cougars (2-3) find themselves approaching midseason unsure what kind of season they are going to have. Rather than a tussle with an AAC contender, Cincinnati’s Saturday afternoon contest seems to have lost some of its Clash of the Titans luster.
Dana Holgorsen’s once heralded team, which entered the season with a horde of fantastic offensive weapons, has dropped games against Oklahoma, Washington State, and AAC upstart Tulane.
With the season in peril, Houston’s multi-threat, one-time Heisman contender quarterback D’Eriq King announced after the loss to Tulane that he was redshirting the season.
