Cougars’ offense improved, still struggled

For Houston, its American Athletic Conference opener against Tulane in New Orleans’ Yulman Stadium was a must win.

Unfortunately for the Cougars, the Green Wave pulled off the 38-31 miracle win thanks to a UH defensive meltdown at the last minute that led to a touchdown with just three seconds left.

Although the defense continued its struggle, Houston’s offense saw some improvement in the first half.

The same could not be said for the second half.

The Cougars’ attack showed signs of its 2018 self that was one of the best offenses in the country, after having struggled in its first three games, but it again disappeared in the last 30 minutes of the matchup.
