One week after a record-setting day offensively at Robertson Stadium, UH appeared lifeless and inefficient on the road against UCLA’s physical defense falling 37-6. “They’ve got a tremendous pass rush, and they showed it in their first two games,” said head coach Tony Levine in a statement. “I thought the
guys competed for 60 minutes, but we didn’t do enough to win the football game.” The Cougars only touchdown came in the form of an 86-yard run from sophomore quarterback David Piland with less than five minutes remaining, preventing UH from its first shutout since losing 48-0 to Texas on Sept. 23, 2000. Piland was plagued by five interceptions, and it took UCLA only 16
seconds into the game to take its first lead, courtesy of a lateral that was scooped up and run in for a 23-yard Bruins’ touchdown. The Cougars were also without redshirt junior running back Charles Sims, who was injured on the second play of last week’s game against Louisiana Tech and is reportedly “day-to-day” according to reports. His replacement, Ryan Jackson went out with a leg injury after two carries
against the Bruins. “I think not having Charles Sims tonight affected our rhythm offensively, and Ryan Jackson went down with a leg injury early and was out for the game,” Levine said. “Things kind of compounded tonight when it came to our guys staying healthy, and we need to get those guys back as quickly as we can in the next week.” FOOTBALL continues on page 6

UH Dining Services is planning to add six new food trucks to the fleet of moving restaurants that is currently stationed outside the University Center. Instead of placing the new trucks by the current ones — Bare Bowls Kitchen, The Waffle Bus and Bernie’s Burger Bus — Dining Services will put them on a new cement pad, which will be built where the old Y Building was
previously. Dining Services aims to have the construction of the pad done by Oct. 1. “When we first looked at using trucks to replace the locations in the UC, we always knew that we would have to add more than three to be able to serve the more than 11,000 customers that would have normally visited the food court each week,” said Amber Arguijo, marketing manager for ARAMARK. “For the slower summer months, MEAL continues on page 3
