Head coach Dana Holgorsen’s first season in charge of Houston has continued to be a tough one, as the Cougars dropped their fourth game of the season, falling to No. 25 Cincinnati 38-23.
Houston lost its second home game of the season and are now 5-2 against ranked opponents in TDECU Stadium since its opening in 2014. The Cougars’ 2-4 start is their worst through six games since going 1-5 in 2004.
The Cougars, the American Athletic Conference’s worst defensive team, struggled in stopping the Bearcats’ offensive attack, as the visitors notched 394 yards, bringing the former’s season average against to 475.
