“No risk it, no biscuit,” is a phrase embedded into the coaching lexicon, popularized by Super Bowl champion head coach Bruce Arians.
That philosophy is what powered the Houston Cougars to victory over the Baylor Bears on Saturday afternoon in Waco, TX. Houston never trailed once in regulation and led by as many as 10 points, but Baylor responded to every punch the Cougars threw.
In the overtime period, when Houston scored a touchdown to answer Baylor’s first strike, Cougars head coach Dana Holgorsen elected to gamble. He kept his extra point team sideline, instilling faith into his offense to finish the job.
