Houston Cougars Postseason Position Reviews: Quarterback

Quarterback became a polarizing topic of conversation for the Houston Cougars in 2019, but there weren’t many answers provided. A redshirt, a coach’s son, and a wildcat all headlined the season, but none of the options provided much consistent play. This year was about building for the future, even if it meant saving players for later.

D’Eriq King’s decision to sit out after a 1-3 start to preserve his redshirt status produced strong reactions from the college football world.
