Panthers shutout 56 - 0 saakib zafrani Sports Editor The University of Houston Cougars (4-0) shutout Georgia State (1-3) last Saturday at Robertson Stadium in a 56-0 rout, extending the Panthers losing streak to three. The Panthers gave up 561 yards and three touchdowns through the air, and 171 yards and five scores on the ground. Quarterback Case Keenum, who’s been in the Heisman discussion for the past three years, racked up 415 yards and completed a stellar 85 percent of his passes with zero picks. The Panther offense looked inept from the very first drive as they started the game with a three and out.

system, should be the first to ask questions of ourselves to make sure we are serving the state in the best way.” Huckaby said that while beginning to review this possiblity was a large step, no plans have been concretely made for any specific institution. “Our task at this point is to develop the evaluative criteria and processes to be used indentifying any potential consolidations,” said Huckaby.
