UH's Holgorsen: Won't quit on '19 after redshirts

HOUSTON -- Houston coach Dana Holgorsen said Tuesday that his team is not giving up on the season despite the decision by two of his top players to redshirt the remainder of the 2019 campaign and return for 2020.

Holgorsen, senior quarterback D'Eriq King and senior receiver Keith Corbin met with reporters on Tuesday to discuss their unusual decision to sit out the rest of this season following the Cougars' 1-3 start. Holgorsen said anyone suggesting that the team is tanking the rest of the year is misguided.

"I can assure you that whoever is saying that was not at our practice last night, was not in our meetings on Sunday night, these long coaches meetings that we had preparing for a game," Holgorsen said.
