The college careers of quarterback Clayton Tune and wide receiver Nathaniel “Tank” Dell were nothing short of spectacular. The duo first linked up during the 2020 season. In their second year together, they guided the Cougars to a 12-win season, a conference championship appearance, and a bowl win in 2021. This year, Tune finished the regular season atop the passing touchdowns leaderboard list while Dell ranked No. 1 in the receiving touchdowns department.
Entering Saturday, the First Team All-AAC quarterback and wide receiver connected north of 200 times for nearly 3,000 yards. In three years shared together at Houston, Tune delivered 28 touchdown strikes to his favorite target.
