Jones steps up; where does that leave Piland? Christopher Shelton Assistant sports editor
Amid several lasts and a disappointing year, one Cougar got a positive first. Redshirt senior Crawford Jones garnered his first victory in his second career start at quarterback. He paced UH with 368 passing
yards and three touchdowns. With Jones behind center, UH pushed the ball down field with a vertical passing game. The team had five passing plays that accounted for more than 20 yards, including a 61-yard catchand-run by freshman receiver Deontay Greenberry. Jones said the Cougars’ quick
start aided the success of their offense. “We definitely got off to a quick start, and that was one of the things we needed to do this week. We were able to hit some things quick in the first two drives,” Jones said. Against Marshall, Jones passed for 325 yards and five touchdowns
in relief of redshirt sophomore quarterback David Piland, who was out with a leg injury.

UH has announced that another Subway location will be available to students in January Jessica Crawford Staff writer
Students will have another dining location in January when Subway opens its doors inside the Cougar Xpress Market of Calhoun Lofts. “We explored several locations on campus, but Calhoun Lofts was the best fit in terms of proximity to the UC and space availability,” said Amber Arguijo, the marketing manager of UH System Dining. Currently, there are two Subway locations on campus with another one located on Scott Street. This will be the fourth Subway on or near campus. Vocal performance and music education junior Gregory Brigham, who lives in the Lofts, said residents are pleased about the new

restaurant. “From whom I’ve talked to who lives at the Lofts, they are excited. I’m personally excited, because I love Subway and I won’t have to travel so far away to get food,” Brigham said. The flow of traffic in the former location at the University Center was key to the decision of opening a new Subway on campus, Arguijo said. “Subway was one of the most popular locations in the UC, so it was only fitting that we try to find it another home on campus,” Arguijo said. Undeclared sophomore Gabriela Custodio said she is glad students will have additional meal choices. SUBWAY continues on page 3
