While no one can call the Cougars’ defense an iron fortress, its steady improvement in recent weeks might just make the difference in the team’s pursuit of a conference title.
With the offense Houston has, the defense just needs to limit big plays while making some of its own to win games.
When it comes to yardage allowed, Houston is still one of the worst in FBS, but the team has been improving. The passing defense is ranked dead last, but it showed improvement against Tulsa and East Carolina.
The Cougars’ run defense is No.
