The beginning of Houston’s 2019 campaign included allowing 686 yards to Oklahoma, 318 to Prairie View A&M, 489 to Washington State and 511 to Tulane. They did so while creating six takeaways.
Though the Cougars’ team statistics, in terms of yards allowed, have not boomed since their 1-3 start, they have, on tape, shown significant improvement since their initial defensive struggles.
Last Saturday, UH’s defensive improvement enjoyed a coming out party in a 24-14 win over Tulsa, in which they tallied four takeaways and allowed -1 rushing yards.
