The UH football team had another strong showing in its second game of the season, at one point scoring 23 unanswered points against No. 14 BYU, but it was the mental errors that ultimately doomed the Cougars from getting a signature win on Friday night at TDECU Stadium and saw the team fall 43-26.
“I just think they played harder than us in the fourth quarter,” UH head coach Dana Holgorsen said after BYU outscored Houston 22-0 in the final period.
UH (1-1, 1-0 American Athletic Conference) committed 10 penalties for 113 yards in the loss to BYU (5-0), but those were not the only mistakes that handicapped Houston from getting a big win.
