After a 5 hour, 18 minute rain delay and 3 hours, 25 minutes of game time, Houston defeated East Carolina 31-24 in the first overtime in TDECU Stadium history.
Trailing 10-3 midway through the first quarter, senior Marcus Jones once again provided a spark for UH on special teams, taking a kickoff 98 yards to the house for his third special teams touchdown of the season.
The UH defense forced two turnovers, the first coming on a strip sack by senior defensive lineman David Anenih and the other coming on a forced fumble by junior cornerback Jayce Rogers.
