A cat is said to have nine lives.
Well, the saying actually goes: “for three he plays, for three he strays, and for the last three he stays.”
Dana Holgorsen was as feline as they come tonight, orchestrating Houston’s unbelievable come-from-way-behind 33-32 victory over the Memphis Tigers in the waning seconds of the game.
For three quarters, the Tigers played.
For three quarters, the Cougars strayed.
And for the last three minutes, Houston quarterback Clayton Tune and wide receiver KeSean Carter decided the Cougars were here to stay as they combined for two touchdowns within a minute of each other to secure a much-needed Houston victory at Liberty Stadium.
