UH drops AAC opener to Tulane in overtime

Another game, another overtime for UH football. Like their last overtime game, this one did not end pretty for the Cougars as they fell to Tulane 27-24 in their American Athletic Conference opener on Friday night at TDECU Stadium.

Up seven in the final minutes of the game, the UH defense once again allowed its opponent to drive the length of the field to tie the game and force overtime.

With 3:04 on the clock, the Green Wave mounted an 11-play, 75-yard drive that was capped off by a shovel pass from Horton to tight end Tyrick James for a 3-yard touchdown on fourth-and-goal.
