COACHING STAFF
Accreditation Guidelines
• Only full-time, salaried employees intending to provide actual game coverage may receive credentials. • A requesting media agency must represent a collective, organizational editorial voice, not simply the offerings of a single individual. • Membership in a writers’association does not automatically qualify an agency for credentials. • A media agency may assign one of its credentials to its online entity. • An online entity, not associated with a traditional media agency, may qualify for one credential, subject to the following conditions: 1. An online entity may receive a credential only if its own full-time staff writes a majority of that site’s material. 2. Online entities that focus primarily on University of Houston Athletics and sponsor message boards or chat rooms, may receive credentials provided they adhere to a policy that requires that a posted message or opinion is identified with the actual name and city of the individual posting the message. 3. Any online service that is recognized as an outlet intended primarily for the purpose of delivering news related to the recruitment of student-athletes will not qualify for credentials. 4. Online entities (other than those identified above) registering 20,000 legitimate unique users per month in each of the past 12 months will be given first consideration.
2014 SEASON
All requests for working press, radio, television, photography or scouting credentials should be made online at www.sportssystems. com/Houston at least one week prior to the game. Season credential requests should be requested by August 15. Seating in the press box is for working media and scouts only. All space for the working press, radio and television is allocated by the Houston Athletics Communications Office, which reserves the right to deny credentials to any outlet. Spouses, dates, children, equipment carriers and non-workers are restricted from the press box, sidelines and locker rooms. Any abuse of a working credential will result in the media agency losing credential privileges. Freelance and/or non-daily writers may be asked to produce copies of actual publications in which their work has appeared. Admission to the press box is by pass only.

HOUSTON houston in 2014 2014 SEASON
About the 2014 cougars
COACHING STAFF
« Twenty-eight full or part-time starters return in 2014 for Houston. The 2013 leader in every major stat category, outside of punting and field goals (Richie Leone), returns for the Cougars as well. « The 13 opponents on the 2014 schedule combined for a record of 98-69 (.587), seven won at least eight games including three with at least 10 wins and eight played in bowl games. « The program welcomes an incoming class of 27 that is comprised of 23 high school studentathletes, one junior college transfer and three four-year transfers. Two of the 27 newcomers enrolled in the program in January for spring workouts - QB Bear Fenimore and OL Carter Wall. « Houston’s roster sports 54 upperclassmen and 58 underclassmen. Fourteen players redshirted in 2013.
TDECU stadium
THE cougars
« Robertson Stadium, Houston’s home in 2012, is literally no more. Demolition on the 70-year old stadium began on Dec. 3, 2012, and the stadium was gone in three weeks. The Cougars finished 72-44-1 (.620) inside Robertson Stadium and were 36-9 (.800) dating back to 2006. « Houston held its official ground breaking for the TDECU Stadium on the previous footprint of Robertson Stadium on Feb. 8, 2013. The 40,000-seat stadium is set to open August of 2014. « With its on-campus home being constructed, Houston played five games at Reliant Stadium, home of the NFL’s Houston Texans, and two at BBVA Compass Stadium, home of the MLS’ Houston Dynamo, in 2013. UH was 4-1 in Reliant and 1-1 in BBVA Compass Stadium.
the american athletic conference
SEASON REVIEW
« For the first time in 18 years, Houston played in a different conference as it joined The American Athletic Conference in 2013 after 17 years in Conference USA. « One of four new programs in The American Athletic Conference, Houston hosted Cincinnati, Memphis, SMU and USF and traveled to UCF, Louisville, Rutgers and Temple in 2013. It marked the first time for Houston to play three teams on its schedule - BYU (L), Rutgers (W) and UTSA (W). « The conference landscape changes once again as The American welcomes league newcomers East Carolina, Tulane and Tulsa while Louisville (ACC) and Rutgers (Big Ten) depart. Navy is set join The American in 2015 when the league will play a championship game with 12 members.
toughest schedule in program history
• With the move to The American Athletic Conference, the 2013 season featured Houston’s toughest schedule to date. • Houston’s opponents combined for 94 total wins and a winning percentage of 57.0 percent. The 94 wins eclipsed the previous best by Houston opponents, 85 in 2005. • The 57.0 winning percent is fourth behind the opponent winning percentage of 63.1 percent in 1995, 61.2 percent in 2001 and the 59.8 percent in 1987. • Against its next five toughest schedules, Houston was a combined 20-37, or a winning percentage of 35.1 percent, while the 2013 team finished 8-5, good for 61.5 percent. • UH topped two conference champions in Rice (Conference USA) and Southern (SWAC).
history
postseason honors • Seven student-athletes from the Houston Football program earned recognition from The American Athletic Conference’s coaches. • Sophomore WR Deontay Greenberry and freshman KR Demarcus Ayers were named to the league’s first team while Ayers was named The American’s Co-Special Teams Player of the Year and freshman QB John O’Korn took home Rookie of the Year honors. • Senior OT DeAnthony Sims, senior CB Zach McMillian, Sophomore FS Trevon Stewart and senior P Richie Leone were all named to the league’s second team. 8 2014 HOUSTON FOOTBALL media GUIDE

opening up a can of o’korn « When David Piland’s career ended due to multiple concussions, John O’Korn received his first career start against Rice. He finished the day with 281 yards and three touchdowns on 15-of-33 passing, becoming just the third player in UH history to throw for at least three TDs in his first start. « In his first road start, O’Korn led UH to a 59-28 win at UTSA with 312 yards on 24-of-36 passing with four touchdowns. O’Korn also added 31 yards on the ground in the win. « O’Korn led all true freshmen nationally with 28 passing touchdowns, a number that ranked second in The American Athletic Conference behind the 31 from Louisville’s Teddy Bridgewater. « The first-year player threw for at least three touchdowns in six games and over 300 yards in three games. « O’Korn completed 80 percent of his passes (24-of-30) at Rutgers with a career-high 364 yards and five TDs. « He followed his 80 percent performance with a completion rate of 81.5 percent (22-of-27) vs. USF. « O’Korn showed off his wheels against UCF with a career-high 56 rushing yards including a careerlong 24-yard run for his first career rushing touchdown. « He finished just 14 yards from the Houston record for passing yards by a freshman and captured the UH freshman records for passing touchdowns (28) and completions (259). « A second true freshman, Greg Ward Jr., provided relief for O’Korn in eight games, throwing for 310 yards and one touchdown on 19-of-28 passing while rushing for 176 yards and two touchdowns on 45 attempts. « Ward also saw time at receiver in the final four games of the season, recording 10 receptions for 95 yards and a touchdown. « Ward broke out with five receptions for 48 yards and a 19-yard touchdown pass against SMU. « The win over Rice marked just the second time in Houston history that two true freshmen QBs played in the same game. The first came in 2010 when Piland and Terrance Broadway each played against Mississippi State and Memphis.

« In his second collegiate season, Deontay Greenberry easily surpassed his 2012 numbers. The American’s leading receiver with 1,202 yards, ranked 17th nationally, despite leaving the Louisville game on the first drive of the game with a head injury and missing the SMU game. Greenberry was third in the league and 20th nationally with an average of 6.8 receptions per game. Take away the Louisville game and Greenberry averaged 109.3 yards and 7.5 receptions per game, which would have ranked among the nation’s leaders - ninth and 15th, respectively. « Greenberry was second in The American Athletic Conference with 11 receiving touchdowns, a number that ranked 10th nationally « The Fresno, Calif., native was fifth in The American in all-purpose yards at 100.7 yards per game. « Greenberry pulled in at least six receptions in nine of his 12 games. « Greenberry became the 17th player in UH history to record 1,000 receiving yards in a season and the first since Patrick Edwards and Justin Johnson in 2011. « His 1,202 yards were the 10th best single-season total and he needs just 156 yards to break the top 10 for yards in a career at Houston. « Greenberry was removed from Houston’s game at Louisville after taking a shot to the head in the first quarter and was limited in the second half of the Cincinnati game with a lower leg injury. The lower leg injury would keep Greenberry out vs. SMU. 2014 HOUSTON FOOTBALL media GUIDE

« Houston led the nation in 2013 with a +25 turnover margin. « The Houston defense led the nation with 43 forced turnovers - 18 fumbles (NCAA best) and 25 interceptions (second nationally). « Offensively, Houston committed just 18 turnovers: eight fumbles and 10 interceptions. The 18 turnovers were second in The American behind Louisville (10). « Ten players had interceptions for the Houston defense with Adrian McDonald leading The American with six interceptions, a number that ranked seventh nationally. « Eleven had fumble recoveries, led by Trevon Stewart with six recoveries, a number that led the nation, while 11 forced fumbles including five players with two forced fumbles. « If you haven’t picked up on it yet, Stewart is a turnover machine. The sophomore led the nation with a combined 10 turnovers - interceptions (4) and fumble recoveries (6). « Houston forced multiple turnovers in 12 games and at least three turnovers in 10 games last season. « The 43 turnovers resulted in 141 points including 25 scored directly by defenders off three touchdowns (William Jackson, Brandon Wilson, Stewart) and two points from a Derrick Mathews’ safety. « The Cougar defensive line collected three interceptions as Tyus Bowser, Tomme Mark and B.J. Singleton each had one pick. « Players routinely credited the ability to create turnovers on the emphasis paid on turnovers in practice, especially on Turnover Tuesdays.

« The group’s lone returning starter from 2012, Derrick Mathews is the defense’s most experienced player with 39 career starts and moved to the middle in 2013 after spending 2012 on the weakside. The junior has posted triple-digit tackles in his first three seasons including 116 stops in 2013. « Mathews was named The American’s Defensive Player of the Week with his work against BYU. Mathews picked off a pass midway through the first and returned it 29 yards for a TD. He had four tackles for loss in the game including a career-high three sacks. Mathews had back-to-back sacks late in the third quarter, the latter of which resulted in a safety. « Mathews leads all active players nationally with 348 career tackles and 39 career tackles for loss to ranke ninth on Houston’s career tackles chart. He is seventh on the UH career list with 173 assisted tackles. He also led all linebackers in The American and UH with seven sacks. « Efrem Oliphant, a veteran of 36 career games with 16 career starts - 13 in 2013, had 13 TFLs, leading The American and eclipsing the 3.5 TFLs he recorded in his first two seasons. « Oliphant recorded a game high 16 tackles vs. BYU, the most by a Houston defender in 2013.

Singleton’s three blocks ranked second nationally. « Joey Mbu was paired with sophomore Tomme Mark, who had an interception in Houston’s season opener, and the two were part of a rotation that included junior Jeremiah Farley and redshirt-freshman B.J. Singleton. Mbu led the defensive tackle group with 29 tackles. Farley led the group with nine tackles for loss including three sacks. « Harris, a junior college transfer, performed admirably since moving into the starting role with 49 tackles, including 8.5 for a loss, 3.5 sacks and one forced fumble. « True freshman Tyus Bowser exploded onto the scene in Houston’s win over Rice as the defensive end had seven tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss, 1.5 sacks, an interception and four quarterback hurries. 2014 HOUSTON FOOTBALL media GUIDE

2014 outlook
JOHN O’KORN
Taking the Next Step The 2013 season saw Houston reach its 22nd bowl in the program’s 68th year as it faced Vanderbilt in the 2014 BBVA Compass Bowl in Birmingham, Ala. While the bowl result was not one Cougar faithful had hoped for, there was promise for a bright future as the UH depth chart sported just eight seniors among its two deep. Now in Tony Levine’s third season and with 28 players with starting experience returning, including every major stat category outside of punting and field goals, the Houston Football program will look to take the next step in 2014. Houston will welcome American Athletic Conference foes UCF (12-1 record in 2013), Temple (2-10), Tulane (7-6) and Tulsa (3-9) in its brand new home along with non-conference foes UTSA (7-5), Grambling (1-11) and Tennessee Tech (5-7). The Cougars will also travel to face American foes Cincinnati (9-4), Memphis (3-9), SMU (5-7) and USF (2-10) along with a non-conference road test at BYU (8-5).
The Offense The Houston offense has seen more attrition than its counterparts across the line of scrimmage, although its a small number as it lost just three starters compared to the defense’s loss of two. Three scholarship quarterbacks from 2013 return this season led by The American’s Rookie of the Year in John O’Korn. Familiar faces will be on the receiving end of passes this spring as 80.6 percent of Houston’s 2013 receiving yards returns for 2014 including seven of the top 10 receivers. Up front on the offensive line, Houston returns four players with a combined 72 career starts although it will look to replace a graduating class of four that combined for 86 career starts. The rushing attack will feature familiar faces as the top six rushers from 2013 all return for the Cougars.
Quarterbacks
In 2014 Houston returns 45 letterwinners with a combined 348 career starts. In all, 28 players with starting experience return from the 2013 roster that lost 15 starters with a combined 245 games started.
The American’s Rookie of the Year in 2013, John O’Korn returns for his sophomore season after leading all true freshmen nationally with 28 passing touchdowns. His 28 scores were second in The American, regardless of class, behind the 31 touchdowns from Louisville’s Teddy Bridgewater.
Changes were made to the coaching staff on the offensive side of the ball as third-year assistant Travis Bush was promoted to offensive coordinator after serving as co-offensive coordinator in 2013 and as interim play caller in 2012.
The Fort Lauderdale, Fla., native set the Houston freshman passing records with 28 touchdowns and 259 completions and was just 14 yards shy of the UH freshman passing yards record set by Kevin Kolb in 2003.
Veteran coaches Dan Hammerschmidt (running backs) and Gordy Shaw (offensive line) join the program as well as an up-and-coming receivers coach in Tony Jeffery.
O’Korn took over as the Cougars’ starting quarterback in the third game of the season and finished the year with at least three touchdowns in six games and over 300 yards in three games.
For the first time since the 2009 season, no coaching changes were made on the defensive side ball as the entire staff from the nation’s third-most improved defense in 2013 returns for 2014.
O’Korn’s backup in 2013, Greg Ward Jr., has moved to receiver, so the sophomore will be backed by senior Billy Cosh, who did not see any game action in his first season with Houston, junior college transfer Hunter McCoy and true freshman Bear Fenimore.

FOOTBALL 2014 outlook 2014 SEASON
Sophomores Demarcus Ayers and Greg Ward Jr., who spent the majority of the year at quarterback, offer great promise for the group. Ayers, also a special teams threat, finished the year with 11 receptions for 130 yards and one touchdown, while Ward had 10 receptions for 95 yards and a touchdown in the final three games of the season.
The team’s leading rusher, Jackson finished the year with 661 yards on his 139 attempts, good for an average of 4.8 yards per carry, while Farrow had 514 yards on 103 attempts, good for an average of 5.0 yards per carry. Both finished with six touchdowns on the year. The two are receiving threats out of the backfield as well, combining for 51 receptions for 409 yards and three touchdowns.
Senior Wayne Beadle, who had six receptions for 63 yards and one touchdown, and redshirt-freshman John Leday round out the group counted on to contribute. Leday’s promising classmate, Donald Gage, suffered a torn ACL in the spring.
The fullback position, a position not seen on the Houston campus in some time, returned in 2013. Junior Luke Stice and sophomore Tyler McCloskey, who could be a candidate for carries, will man the position in 2014.

For the second straight season, Houston will welcome back over 80 percent of its receiving yards from the previous season including seven of its top 10 receivers in 2013.
A deep threat for Houston, senior Daniel Spencer averaged 14.8 yards per catch on his 52 receptions for 768 yards and six touchdowns. His average yards per catch was matched by classmate Markeith Ambles who came on strong in Houston’s bowl game with six receptions and 105 yards with his season’s lone touchdown, part of a season output of 17 receptions for 252 yards.
Offensive Line
New offensive line coach Gordy Shaw has a group buoyed by experienced seniors in RG Rowdy Harper (39 career starts) and C Bryce Redman (21), but did lose LT Zach Johnson (11) to a torn ACL this spring. Harper switched inside to left guard last season after spending 2012 at right tackle. The versatile senior also started three games at left tackle in 2013. Former defensive tackle and Oklahoma State transfer Mike Mustafa backed Harper throughout the spring. Redman, a senior, has started 19 straight games at center and looks to hold down the spot in his final year. He’ll be backed by sophomore Mac Long. Candidates to replace Johnson at left tackle include junior Alex Cooper, a former tight end, and redshirt-freshman Josh Thomas. At the right tackle position, junior Damian Parris, a 2013 redshirt after transferring from Contra Costa CC and redshirt-freshman Ja’Braylin Thomas will look to capture a starting bid. Junior Emeka Okafor looks to compete for the starting left guard position and could battle junior college transfer Carter Wall and Hawaii transfer Ben Dew at both guard spots. Three true freshmen join the group as Emerald Faletuipapai, Colton Freeman and Darius Joiner make their way to Houston, while two transfers joined the group in the summer in Travis Cross (Oklahoma State) and Kyle Marrs (Oklahoma).

The group is led by First Team American Conference member Deontay Greenberry, who led the league with 1,202 receiving yards despite missing the SMU game and leaving the Louisville contest on the game’s first drive. The junior was second in The American with 11 receiving touchdowns and was third with 82 receptions.
The receiving group welcomes five this fall as Romello Brooker, Steven Dunbar, Elton Dyer, Isaiah Johnson and Latrell Martin all join the fold. SEASON REVIEW
Junior Justin Hicks, who finished with two touchdowns and 95 yards on 21 carries, along with redshirt-freshman Javin Webb could factor into the mix at running back as well. One running back will enter the competition for carries in the fall as incoming freshman Kaliq Kokuma makes his way to campus.

Running Backs
The 2013 season saw the emergence of now juniors Kenneth Farrow and Ryan Jackson at the running back position. The two split backfield duties as Farrow started 11 games with 103 carries and Jackson started two games with 139 carries.

TREVON STEWART
The Defense Defensive coordinator David Gibbs’ first season with Houston resulted in the nation’s turnover leader and the third-best improved scoring defense in the nation. While Houston lost two valuable defenders to graduation in Thomas Bates and Zach McMillian, the cupboard is not empty as 12 players with starting experiences return as do a number of promising new faces.
history
SEASON REVIEW
Defensive Line
One year after being the unit most depleted by graduation, defensive line coach Ricky Logo returns all nine players from his 2013 rotation including six with starting experience. A senior NFL prospect, Joey Mbu led all returning defensive tackles with 29 tackles for the second straight year. Mbu was part of a defensive tackle rotation that featured senior Jeremiah Farley, junior Tomme Mark and sophomore B.J. Singleton. Farley led the group with nine tackles for loss including three sacks while Singleton was second nationally with three blocked kicks. Mark and Singleton added interceptions on the year while Farley recovered one fumble. Redshirt-freshman Nick Thurman looks to play his way into the tackle rotation this season as well. Others providing depth at defensive tackle include seniors Jamal Baker and Melvin Holland. At defensive end, all six ends who were part of the 2013 rotation - seniors Eric Braswell and Trevor Harris, junior Eric Eiland and sophomores Chauntez Jackson, Cameron Malveaux and Tyus Bowser - return for UH. Harris led the group at the rush end position with 49 tackles and 8.5 tackles for loss while Bowser led with 4.5 sacks as his primary backup. Eiland started eight games at defensive end last year, finishing with 21 tackles and 1.5 sacks.
Braswell, the most experienced of the group with 21 starts including eight in 2013, suffered a torn ACL in the spring. He’ll be replaced by Malveaux, who has bulked up to 272 pounds after collecting 12 tackles in 2013, and Jackson, who switched from tight end to defensive end midway through the 2013 season. Incoming freshmen Davious Ballard, Jerard Carter, Mason Denley, Michael Moana and Zach Vaughan enter the competition on the defensive line this fall.
Linebackers
A mainstay of the UH defense, senior Derrick Mathews returns for his final season as a Cougar riding a streak of 39 straight starts. With triple-digit tackles each of his first three seasons, Mathews enters 2014 leading all active players nationally with 348 career tackles. Mathews moved from the weakside to the middle in 2013 and led all linebackers in The American Athletic Conference with seven sacks. Junior Elandon Roberts provides depth behind Mathews and finished 2013 with seven tackles, one of which was for a loss. Mathews’ weakside replacement in 2013, senior Efrem Oliphant, experienced a breakout season, starting all 13 games and leading the Cougars with 134 tackles and 13 tackles for loss. Oliphant was second in The American and 12th nationally with an average of 10.3 tackles per game. Oliphant will be backed by redshirt freshman Caleb Tucker. Opposite of Oliphant is sophomore Steven Taylor, another first-year starter in 2013. Taylor finished fifth on the team with 89 tackles including 10.5 for loss and three sacks. A former wide receiver, sophomore D’Juan Hines, made the transition to defense in spring and looks to provide depth behind Taylor. The group welcomes two additional players this fall in Matthew Adams and Ja’Von Shelley.

FOOTBALL 2014 outlook 2014 SEASON
The safety positions will be manned by the two junior mainstays in Stewart and McDonald. Stewart led the nation with 10 turnovers (six fumble recoveries and four interceptions) and was third on the team with 109 tackles while McDonald led The American Athletic Conference with six interceptions and was fourth on the squad with 99 tackles. Both started all 13 games in 2013 at their respective positions.
Kicker
Awarded a scholarship in the spring, junior Kyle Bullard took over as Houston’s starting kicker in the seventh game of the 2013 season and finished the year perfect as he hit all eight of his field goal attempts, including a long of 46 yards at Louisville, and all 20 extra point attempts. Sophomore Ty Cummings will back Bullard and look to earn the kickoff role after recording five kickoffs in three games last season.
Punter
For the first time since 2010, Houston will have a new punter as Richie Leone, a four-year starter, completed his eligibility as a second-team All-American in 2013.
While the group lost its two starting cornerbacks, there is certainly talented depth returning at the position in 2014. Junior William Jackson played in all 13 games with four starts at the position and enters the season projected as one starter. The rangy corner had six breakups and one interception, returning it 96 yards for a touchdown, in 2013.
Three juniors will battle to replace Leone in 2014. Junior Dylan Seibert is in his second season at UH after transferring from Oklahoma and spent 2013 as Leone’s backup and the team’s starting holder. Juniors Sam Martin and Logan Piper, a former UH baseball player, will also have an opportunity in 2014.
Others will providing competition for the other starting cornerback position and playing time are led by senior Turon Walker, who played in 11 games in 2013 with two interceptions, sophomore Brandon Wilson, junior Lee Hightower, a Boise State transfer who started 11 games over two years for the Broncos, junior Tyler White, a Utah transfer, and junior Marcus Dillard, who played in four games in 2013.
Sophomore Demarcus Ayers quickly put The American Athletic Conference on alert as he was named the league’s Co-Special Teams Player of the Year as a true freshman. Ayers led the conference with an average of 27.6 yards per return and became just the second player in Houston history to eclipse the 1,000-yard mark with a freshman-record 1,021 total kick return yards.
Returners
He’ll team with classmate Greg Ward Jr. as the team’s primary returners. Ward, who enters 2014 as the team’s starting punt returner, had two punt returns for six yards after taking over the spot in the 12th game of 2013.
history
The group will add six in the fall when freshmen Garrett Davis, Joeal Williams, Khalil Williams, Howard Wilson and Jeremy Winchester join the group.
SEASON REVIEW
Sophomore Steven Aikens, who saw action in 12 games on special teams duties, will back McDonald. Junior Earl Foster, a veteran of 24 career games and a special teams standout, holds down the secondary spot behind Stewart. Redshirt-freshman Nomluis Fruge will look to break into the back end of the Houston defense as well.
The Special Teams Houston will look to replace a vital part of its special teams - punter and kickoff specialist Richie Leone, a second-team All-American in 2013.

One year later the demolition of Robertson Stadium signified another new period of Houston Athletics as it kicked off the construction of the $105 million, state-ofthe-art, on-campus TDECU Stadium set to open in August of 2014. The facility will join the Dave Williams Golf Academy at Redstone Golf Club as new structures under Rhoades’ watch while a basketball practice facility, planned renovations of Hofheinz Pavilion and other facilities are currently in the works. His impact was immediately seen in 2009-10 during his first season as he led the Athletics Department to unprecedented heights. Under his watch, the football program returned to the national rankings - rising as high as No. 12 - the men’s track and field teams swept the indoor and outdoor titles and the men’s basketball team won its first Conference USA Tournament crown. The fall of 2011 season saw Houston reach heights it had never visited before as Houston Football set a season record with 13 wins and a No. 6 national ranking while the UH campus became the first ever Conference USA program to have ESPN Gameday broadcast live from it. Under Rhoades’ watch, Houston Athletics has captured 12 conference team championships, including 2014 titles in Baseball and Outdoor Track and Field, the first American Athletic Conference crowns in school history. Houston teams have advanced to postseason competition 44 times, while 36 student-athletes have earned All-America honors during his tenure. In 2013-14, the Cougars finished third in the Learfield Sports Directors’ Cup among all American Athletic Conference schools and totaled 257 points for the program’s highest national finish since the 2000-01 campaign. Those accolades also extended into the classroom as 2013-14 marked another record-setting year. Student-athletes from Houston’s 17 sport programs set the Houston Athletics record for cumulative grade point average after the 2014 spring semester with an overall GPA of 2.88 after recording the best spring semester mark in department history at 2.82. Eleven of Houston’s 17 sport programs currently carry a cumulative GPA of 3.02 or better. In addition to the spring semester results, the Men’s Cross Country and Women’s Tennis programs earned the NCAA’s Public Recognition Award given to programs with Academic Progress Rate (APR) scores in the top 10 percent of their respective sports during the 2012-13 academic year. Men’s Golf, Women’s Golf, Football, Tennis and Women’s Track and Field all posted their best-ever cumulative GPAs after the spring semester, while Men’s and Women’s Golf programs recorded their best-ever spring semester GPAs. Men’s Basketball and Men’s Track and Field were just behind with their secondbest cumulative GPAs following the spring semester. Rhoades also has been a leader in the development of the Cougar Pride Leadership Academy. As one of just a handful across the nation, the program brings student-athletes together as freshmen through to graduation with activities that promote the complete person. A leader among conference administrators as well, Rhoades was selected to The American Athletic Conference TV Committee after having served as the Conference USA chairperson for the Championship and Site Selection Committee.

Just last year, the city landed on several “best of” lists, including the Travel + Leisure roundup of America’s Favorite Cities and the Hotwire.com index of most affordable U.S. vacation destinations.
• Take the food, for example. Countless cutting-edge chefs have made a home in Houston, where diners eat out more than residents of any other city. Here, you’ll find James Beard Award winners and internationally renowned chefs serving up innovative cuisine that frequently catches the attention of foodies in Bon Appetit, Food & Wine and Saveur.

Not entirely unlike the nation that provides its namesake, the American Athletic Conference was born from an ideal in which members with ambitious goals are provided with the means to succeed in their quests for excellence. With roots that extend to three conferences, the American Athletic Conference membership in 2014-15 consists of 11 institutions: the University of Central Florida, the University of Cincinnati, East Carolina University, the University of Connecticut, the University of Houston, the University of Memphis, the University of South Florida Southern Methodist University, Temple University, Tulane University and the University of Tulsa.
The success of The American in Year 1 was not limited to the gridiron. UConn won NCAA titles in both men’s and women’s basketball. The conference had the best postseason winning percentage of any league in men’s basketball, while The American produced top-10 teams in baseball, men’s soccer and men’s golf and sent half of its participating teams to the NCAA Softball Championship.
The 2015-16 season sees the U.S. Naval Academy join the ranks in football only.
The American Athletic Conference holds television partnerships with ESPN and CBS Sports which will give the conference unprecedented national exposure. The football portion of the contract, which begins in the 2014 season, calls for nearly 90 percent of conference-controlled games on national broadcast or national cable platforms. The first American Athletic Conference Football Championship, which will be played in 2015, will be carried either on ABC or ESPN on Championship Saturday.
Under the leadership of commissioner Mike Aresco, The American, which operated as the Big East Conference from 1979 to 2013, has immediately taken a place at the forefront of Division I athletics, with schools that have played in four Bowl Championship Series games, won four NCAA men’s basketball titles since 1999, and won nine NCAA women’s basketball championships since 1995.
In men’s basketball, the television deal calls for all conference-controlled games to be televised, with more than 63 percent slotted for national broadcast or national cable – a minimum of 107 games. The entire postseason tournament will be televised, including the championship game, which will be either on ABC or ESPN. Sixty percent of the American’s women’s basketball games will be carried on either national cable, regional sports networks or ESPN3.
Two American Athletic Conference football teams were ranked in the top 15 of the final 2013 Associated Press poll. Five were selected for bowl games, including UCF, which won the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl and finished the season ranked No. 10 nationally. The conference produced 14 players who received All-America recognition by a major outlet.
American Athletic Conference teams will have access to the pinnacle of college football’s postseason structure. An American representative would be chosen for the College Football Playoff semifinals if it is among the top four teams following the regular season. Otherwise, the league would place its champion in either the Cotton Bowl, Fiesta Bowl or Peach Bowl if it is ranked higher than the champions of Conference USA, the Mid-American Conference, the Mountain West Conference and the Sun Belt Conference.
The American had four players chosen in the first round of the 2014 NFL Draft, trailing only the SEC and the ACC among FBS conferences. UCF quarterback Blake Bortles highlighted a group of 12 American Athletic Conference players chosen when he was taken No. 3 overall by the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Additionally, The American has announced primary or secondary partnerships with 12 bowls for the next six-year cycle, ensuring multiple annual matchups against the nation’s top conferences and providing desirable postseason destinations to member institutions and their fans.

TONY LEVINE
Head Coach Minnesota ‘96 Third Season as Head Coach (14-12 record) Seventh Season at Houston • Tony Levine is in his third season as the head coach at the University of Houston. • Introduced as the 12th head coach in Houston history on Dec. 22, 2011, Levine made an emphatic national statement in his opening game as the UH head coach, belting No. 22 Penn State, 30-14, in the 2012 TicketCity Bowl. • Levine took over at UH two weeks before that Jan. 2 bowl contest in Dallas and unveiled a prepared squad that held Penn State to just two scores and produced a Cotton Bowl Stadium record 532 yards of passing vs. the nation’s No. 4-ranked pass defense. The victory helped UH to a school-record 13th win (tops in the nation) and first January bowl victory since the 1979 campaign. Levine led the Cougars to an end-of-season national ranking for the first time since 1990 and was the first UH head coach to open his career with a win vs. a nationally-ranked opponent since Harold Lahar in 1957. • The St. Paul, Minn., native directed Houston in its final season of play in Conference USA and led the team’s transition into The American Athletic Conference in 2013. Levine led Houston to its 16th eight-win season in program history as it opened the season 5-0 for just the fifth time in program history, despite playing the toughest schedule in program history. • Houston returned to the postseason for the 22nd time in program history in 2013 as Levine led the Cougars to the BBVA Compass Bowl in Birmingham, Ala. The game marked Houston’s second January bowl with Levine at the helm. • UH led the nation with a +25 turnover margin and 43 turnovers gained. Sophomore Trevon Stewart led the nation with 10 turnovers – a nation’s best six fumble recoveries and four interceptions. Fellow sophomore Adrian McDonald led The American with six interceptions. • The 2013 Houston defense ranked third nationally among most improved scoring defenses. In giving up 21.8 points per game, Houston allowed 14.2 points less per game than 2012. The scoring defense output was the lowest in 14 years since the 1999 defense held opponents to 19 points per game. • Seven players received 2013 postseason honors from The American including freshman Demarcus Ayers being named the league’s Co-Special Teams Player of the Year and John O’Korn being named Rookie of the Year. • O’Korn led all true freshmen nationally with 28 touchdowns and set Houston freshman records with his 28 TDs and 259 completions. His 28 passing touchdowns were second in The American behind the 31 of Louisville’s Teddy Bridgewater. • Deontay Greenberry led The American with 1,202 receiving yards despite missing one full game and leaving after the first series of another. The sophomore’s 11 touchdown receptions were second in the league and ranked 10th nationally. • Ayers led The American and was 12th nationally with an average of 27.6 yards per kick return. He set a Houston freshman record with 1,021 kickoff return yards and finished second on the UH single-season chart regardless of class. • Punter Richie Leone was named a second-team All-American by the FWAA and became the first punter in UH history to earn All-America honors. An NFL Combine invitee, Leone signed with the Baltimore Ravens after finishing his career ranked
second on the UH career punting average chart at 43.1 yards per punt. Leone set the Houston career record with 54 punts over 50 yards. • While 2012 was Levine’s first full season as head coach, he was no stranger to Houston. The former collegiate wide receiver spent the four seasons before his promotion on the UH staff, including his final two as assistant head coach. • The 41-year old has spent 19 years in the coaching ranks, including stints at all levels of football, from a high school stop in his home state of Minnesota, to a two-year stop with the Carolina Panthers of the NFL. • The 2012 season saw 13 Houston players earn All-Conference USA honors and Trevon Stewart named to the FWAA Freshman All-American team. Three Houston players - D.J. Hayden (interceptions per game), Leone (punting average) and Phillip Steward (sacks) led the Conference in their respective categories. Leone tied the Houston single-season record with an average of 45.5 yards per punt while Matt Hogan set the Conference USA career scoring record with 405 points. • During Levine’s tenure at UH, the special teams units has reached unprecedented heights, highlighted by 20 blocked kicks, nine kickoff returns for touchdowns and six forced turnovers.

history
• The Sun Devils had the nation’s most-potent kick return game in 2011, ranking No. 5 nationally in punt returns (15.3) and No. 10 in kick returns (25.1). ASU had four total kick returns for a score, including three on kickoffs and one via the punt return unit. Jamal Miles had three of those returns (tied for the national lead), returning a kickoff 98 yards in the seasonopening win against UC Davis and another 95 yards to open the game at Washington State. His third return, a 78-yard punt return for score against Oregon State, helped him average a gaudy 16.6 yards per punt return this season. That would have led the country with enough attempts. His 26.3 yards per kickoff return ranked No. 18 nationally.
• Defensively his teams were equally effective, highlighted by the 2009 campaign when ASU ranked among the nation’s best, allowing opponents just 18.8 yards per kickoff return.

His resume includes working with NFL All-Pro defensive linemen Osi Umenyiora of the New York Giants and Demarcus Ware of the Dallas Cowboys, both of whom starred for Logo at Troy. • Logo’s nine-man defensive line in 2013 was instrumental in the Cougars’ defensive turnaround, ranking third nationally among most-improved scoring defenses. Tyus Bowser led all freshmen in The American Athletic Conference and was second on the team with 4.5 sacks. Bowser was also one of three defensive linemen with an interception on the year, joined by B.J. Singleton and Tomme Mark. The group also has three fumble recoveries from Jeremiah Farley, Cameron Malveaux and Eric Eiland, who returned his 62 yards vs. SMU. Logo’s group accounted for 36.5 tackles for loss, 17.5 sacks and seven forced fumbles. • The 2012 season saw Logo oversee a defensive tackle group that was hit hard by the injury bug combine for 89 tackles and three fumble recoveries. • Overall the Santa Ana, Calif., native spent five seasons in Troy, Ala., three as the defensive line coach and two more as the program’s co-defensive coordinator. He left that position in 2007 to become the defensive line coach at Vanderbilt. • While at Vanderbilt the defensive front made incredible strides and two of his players, Curtis Gatewood and Theo Horrocks, signed NFL free agent contracts. He was also part of a staff that led Vandy to its first winning season since 1982 thanks to a 16-14 victory over Boston College in the 2008 Gaylord Hotels Music City Bowl. • Holding a strong relationship with former Vanderbilt Head Coach Bruce Fowler took Logo to Furman for the 2011 season. The Paladins went 6-5 this season in their first season, including wins over two top-five programs. • Logo began his coaching career in 1995 at Chattanooga. He worked with the Mocs’ defensive line and advanced to defensive coordinator just a few years later in 2001. He then spent one season at Western Carolina as assistant head coach and defensive line coach before his move to Troy. • Logo played collegiately along the defensive line at North Carolina State. The Wolfpack advanced to four consecutive bowl games and he was named both team captain and All-ACC in 1992 as a senior. N.C. State went 32-16-1 during his four seasons and he finished his playing career with the Detroit Lions of the NFL before suffering a career-ending injury as a rookie. • Logo graduated from North Carolina State in 1992 with a degree in sociology.

2014 NEWCOMERS

With a class that included 23 Texans, Houston welcomes 28 student-athletes to its 2014 class. The class is comprised of 24 high school student-athletes, one junior college transfer and three four-year transfers. The defensive-heavy class is led by six defensive linemen and five defensive backs. The Cougars also add two linebackers and one defensive lineman on the defensive side of the ball. Offensively, five wide receivers and seven offensive linemen lead the group followed one each from the quarterback and running back positions. Physically, a larger class than some Houston fans may be accustomed to, every position group has an average height of at least six feet. The six defensive linemen own an average height of 6-4 with an average weight of 267 while the three offensive linemen have the same average height with an average weight of 306. Height is also the theme among the wide receivers as the group of five has an average height of 6-3. Two newcomers joined the Houston Football program in the spring - freshman QB Bear Fenimore from Westwood HS in Austin and junior OL Carter Wall, a Richmond, Texas, native who attended Navarro JC.

HOUSTON -- Ryan Jackson rushed 10 times for 120 yards and two touchdowns and Daniel Spencer added three more scores as the University of Houston football team opened the 2013 campaign with a convincing 62-13 victory over Southern. The Cougars rolled up 672 total yards of offense, including 372 on the ground, while forcing four turnovers and allowing the fewest points since Nov. 19, 2011. Junior signal caller David Piland, who started the contest, was 15-of-23 for 148 yards and a touchdown while freshman quarterback John O’Korn completed 11 of 15 passes for 107 yards and three scores. Houston set the tone from the onset, forcing a Southern three-and-out on its first drive before marching 59 yards on six plays, capped by an eight-yard touchdown scamper from Jackson. The Cougar defense forced four turnovers, including sophomore defensive tackle Tomme Mark’s first-career interception, to go with four pass deflections.

98 2014 HOUSTON FOOTBALL GUIDE
PHILADELPHIA -- Houston’s Richie Leone booted five field goals and Ryan Jackson’s 8-yard, fourth-quarter touchdown helped the Cougars to a 22-13 victory over Temple in the American Athletic Conference debut for both teams. Houston had its troubles in the red zone, going 1-for-8 without scoring a touchdown. But the Cougars defense staved off a Temple drive when Adrian McDonald intercepted a pass in the closing minutes. Temple had its red-zone problems, too. Paul Layton missed a 25-yard field goal attempt wide left in the final minute of the third quarter that could have put the Owls ahead 16-15. Jackson finished with a game-high 109 yards on 22 carries, and Cougars true freshman quarterback John O’Korn completed 22-of-31 passes for 228 yards. Deontay Greenberry set a career high with 14 catches for 165 yards on the afternoon. Zach McMillian picked off the first pass of the game from Temple for his first of the year and the seventh of his career. Fellow defensive back Trevon Stewart recorded another turnover after he picked up a fumble cause by Efrem Oliphant in the third quarter. Houston turned the ball over twice on back-to-back drives in the second half. No harm came from either miscues as the Cougars defense pitched a shut out in the second half. It was the time since 1989 that the Cougars held opponents to 13 points or less in backto-back games. Score by Quarters Houston (2-0, 1-0) Temple (0-2, 0-1) Qtr 1st 2nd 3rd 4th

SAN ANTONIO -- Houston’s B.J. Singleton blocked a field goal that was returned for a key touchdown late in the third quarter and later intercepted a pass that helped the Cougars stay undefeated in a 59-28 victory over UTSA. With the win, Houston improved to 4-0 for the eighth time in school history. Houston’s defense entered the game ranked No. 15 in the NCAA in turnovers with nine created on the season. The Cougars defense forced five in the fourth quarter for the 12th consecutive multiple-turnover performance. The Houston offense did not turn the ball over. Ahead 24-21 late in the third quarter, it appeared UH would be in a tie game when UTSA (2-3) lined up for a 29-yard field goal. But Singleton broke through the middle and blocked Sean Ianno’s kick, and Brandon Wilson returned it 78 yards to give UH a 31-21 lead with 3:11 left in the quarter. In the opening minute of the fourth, Singleton intercepted Soza. John O’Korn, UH’s true freshman making his second start, found Xavier Maxwell on a 22-yard scoring pass that put the Cougars back up by 10.

HOUSTON -- Freshman quarterback John O’Korn threw for 281 yards and three touchdowns, and Houston overcame a slow start to survive Rice 31-26. Alex Lyons returned a blocked field goal 61 yards for a touchdown with 2:19 to go in the game to get Rice close, but the Owls missed on the two-point conversion. Rice recovered the ensuing onside kick at its 47-yard line but was unable to score. Deontay Greenberry and Ryan Jackson each caught a touchdown in the second half to help lead the Cougars. Greenberry finished with 146 yards receiving on six catches for his second-straight game over 100 yards, including a 61-yarder from Korn in the first quarter to set up Houston’s first score. Jackson also rushed for 87 and a touchdown on 19 carries. It was the first game in Jackson’s career he caught and rushed for a score. Freshman Greg Ward, Jr. entered the game at quarterback in the second quarter and rushed for nine yards on his first snap. The Tyler, Texas, native finished the day 3-for-3 passing for 48 yards and rushed for 80 yards on nine carries. High school teammate of Ward, Tyus Bowser, made a major impact on the defensive line as the fellow freshman made seven tackles, 2.5 for a loss, one sack and an interception. Houston caused two turnovers as they made it three straight games this season and 11 overall with multiple turnovers in a game. The last time UH didn’t force two turnovers was against Rice in 2012.

ORLANDO -- Moving the ball had not been a problem for Houston in 2013. It wasn’t against UCF, either, but finishing drives and turning those yards into points was as the Cougars’ fell to the 19th-ranked Knights 19-14. Houston had a pair of turnovers and came up empty on a two passes inside the 10 in the closing seconds to suffer their first American Athletic Conference loss. Houston forced three UCF turnovers, but turned only one of them into points. Houston forced multiple turnovers for the 17 straight game and improved its total turnover number to 32 on the year. Two of the turnovers occured in the opening quarter as the UH defense stopped UCF’s first two opening drives in their own red zones with turnovers. The Cougars drove to the UCF 10 in the final minute, but came up empty on back-to-back passes from John O’Korn into the end zone. The first went off star receiver Deontay Greenberry’s finger tips and second to Aaron Johnson was then broken up by UCF linebacker Brandon Alexander. O’Korn had a touchdown pass and two interceptions for the Cougars. Following a UCF missed field goal, Houston got life when O’Korn found Wayne Beadle in the end zone from 12 yards out to close the gap to 19-14. UCF then gave the Cougars the ball right back with 3:02 to play after going three-and-out. Houston went to the air and moved quickly, eventually using a 14-yard pass on third down by O’Korn to get into the red zone. But UCF held - and held on to sole possession of first place.

102 2014 HOUSTON FOOTBALL GUIDE
LOUISVILLE -- It was a close game in the first meeting against the Louisville Cardinals and Houston Cougars in five years. The Louisville defense held Houston to just 41 second-half yards and helped the Cardinals win their third straight game. Houston needed just two drives to tie the game, driving 48 yards for Kyle Bullard’s 46-yard field goal and 60 yards ending in Kenneth Farrow’s 4-yard run with 6:35 left before halftime. Those drives were telling as the Cougars’ no-huddle offense seemed to confuse the Cardinals’ defense, which struggled to keep up. Defensively, Houston succeeded in pressuring Bridgewater, sacking him three times and keeping him on the run at other times. Bridgewater was held without a passing touchdown for the first time in 21-straight games. Two key plays helped the Cougars take a 13-10 lead heading into halftime. The first was Michaelee Harris’ muffed punt recovered at the Louisville 39 by Trevon Stewart, who entered leading the nation with eight turnovers (four fumble recoveries and four interceptions). Stewart shrugged off the Cardinal blocker and sent him flying into the U of L return man to cause the turnover. Houston looked poised to jump on the Cardinals right away when Demarcus Ayers returned the opening kickoff 61 yards with the help of five missed tackles, and the Cougars moved 11 yards for a first down at the Louisville 28. After three straight incompletions, they gambled on fourth down, but John O’Korn’s slant pass to Xavier Maxwell came up three yards short. Score by Quarters Houston (7-3, 4-2) Louisville (9-1, 5-1)

HOUSTON -- Freshman quarterback John O’Korn threw for 245 yards and two touchdowns on 25-of-41 passing, while the Cougar defense forced four turnovers, as Houston cruised to a 34-0 victory over in-state rival SMU. For the Cougars, the win gave them their 16th eight-win season in program history, while the defense recorded its first shutout of an opponent since blanking Georgia State 56-0 on Sept. 24, 2011. The 25 completions for O’Korn moved him past Kevin Kolb for tops on the school’s all-time freshman completion list with 239, while the two passing touchdowns gave him 26 on the year, also a freshman school record. Junior wide receiver Daniel Spencer hauled in a team-high seven receptions for a gamehigh 100 receiving yards and a touchdown to lead the Cougar receiving core. It was his fifth 100-yard receiving game this year, while the touchdown was his sixth on the season. Sophomore tailback Ryan Jackson led the ground attack for Houston, as he rushed for a team-high 62 yards on seven carries, while punching in his sixth rushing touchdown of the season. Senior defensive back Zach McMillian recorded two interceptions in a game for the first time in his career, while senior running back Kent Brooks rushed for a touchdown on a career-best 38 yards with a career-high eight carries in their final home games of their careers. It didn’t take long for Houston to take control of this one, as O’Korn chucked a 67-yard bomb to Spencer, giving the Cougars a 7-0 lead with just over one minute gone by in the contest. The play was also the seventh longest of the season for Houston.

Hosey Williams rushed 13 times for 84 yards for Cincinnati, who finished with 573 yards of offense. John O’Korn struggled in the wet, dreary conditions finishing 13-of-30 for 171 yards and a touchdown. O’Korn was replaced by Greg Ward, Jr., in the third quarter, and Ward finished 5-of-9 for 74 yards for the Cougars, who dropped their third straight. Ward also caught three passes for 42 yards. Deontay Greenberry had six receptions for 64 yards and a score and Daniel Spencer added five receptions for 66 yards for the Cougars, who managed 278 yards of offense. After Tony Miliano missed two fourth quarter field goals, including a 24-yarder with 1:23 remaining, Houston worked its way down the field to the Bearcats’ 37, but O’Korn tried to scramble on the final play, gaining only 6 yards and time ran out on the Cougars.

BIRMINGHAM - Houston lost the bowl game but found a new wide receiver to watch. Markeith Ambles had a touchdown catch as Houston rallied to pull even after trailing by 24 points, but the Cougars couldn’t keep pace and Vanderbilt controlled the fourth quarter for a 41-24 victory in the BBVA Compass Bowl. Ambles, a former top high school recruit who began his career at Southern California, had six catches for 105 yards, including a 6-yard touchdown catch. Houston coach Tony Levine said he anticipated Ambles’ breakout game after the junior had only 11 catches in nine regularseason games. He joined the program late in preseason practice and made his debut the third week of the season. Houston (8-5) gained only 22 yards and had one first down in the first half but tied the game with 24 points in the third quarter. Kenneth Farrow had a 6-yard scoring run and John O’Korn threw scoring passes to and Deontay Greenberry and Ambles. O’Korn completed 16 of 31 passes for 220 yards and two touchdowns with two interceptions. Daniel Spencer had three carries for 69 yards. Vanderbilt’s Patton Robinette threw two 50-yard touchdown passes to Jordan Matthews. Robinette, starting after senior Austyn Carta-Samuels had season-ending surgery to repair a torn ACL in his left knee, also had an Score by Quarters Vanderbilt (9-4, 4-4) Houston (8-5, 5-3) Qtr

Scoring play
8-yard scoring run as Vanderbilt built a 24-0 lead in the first half. After Houston’s big third quarter, Vanderbilt reclaimed the lead on Brian Kimbrow’s 21-yard touchdown run. It was the start of 17 fourth-quarter points for the Commodores. No Houston defender was near Matthews on his second 50-yard scoring catch in the second quarter. It capped a dominant first half for the Commodores. Levine said he told his players at halftime they could make up the 24-point deficit quickly. A lost fumble by Robinette set up Farrow’s 6-yard touchdown run to start Houston’s thirdquarter comeback. Houston built on the momentum. Spencer’s 62-yard run set up O’Korn’s 6-yard touchdown pass to Ambles. O’Korn’s 58-yard pass to Ambles set up a 30-yard field goal by Kyle Bullard. O’Korn’s 67-yard touchdown pass to Greenberry tied the game. A forced fumble by linebacker Chase Garnham set up the Commodores’ second touchdown. After Houston’s O’Korn threw a pass to Greg Ward Jr., a big hit by Garnham forced the fumbled recovered by Andrew Williamson at the Houston 16. Robinette, making his third career start, scored on an 8-yard keeper on fourth down.

After a punt by each team, Houston regained the ball on its own seven and embarked on a 14-play, 81-yard drive that would result in a game-clinching field goal by Coplin. The key play came on fourth-and-one on the Maryland 41 with 1:56 left when Thomas went 32 yards for the first down. When the drive stalled at the 12, Coplin hit a 28-yard field goal to seal the win and the No. 4 final ranking.

His first score, from two yards out, ended a 38-yard, eight-play drive. UH’s Bobby Harrison blocked Notre Dame kicker Dick Boushka’s punt and the Cougars turned that turnover into seven points on Davis’ five-yard touchdown run at 4:40. The fourth quarter was a battle of field position until Notre Dame blocked UH punter Jay Wyatt’s kick and took over on the Houston 11. Three plays resulted in a loss of three yards and on fourthand-13 from the UH 14, Montana’s pass was incomplete. However, UH could not move the ball, and Wyatt’s next punt was also blocked. This one was recovered by Irish strong safety Steve Cichy and returned 33 yards for a Notre Dame touchdown. The two point conversion from Montana to Vagas Ferguson was good and Houston’s lead stood at 34-20. Notre Dame’s defense held, forcing another Wyatt punt. Montana completed two passes for 47 yards, then used a pass interference call to reach the Houston three. On third down from the two, Montana scampered in for the score. He then hit Haines with the two-point conversion pass to make it a six-point game. Houston was forced to punt again, but the Irish’s next drive ended when Montana fumbled with less than two minutes on the clock and UH’s Tommy Ebner recovered. Houston advanced to its 29, and on fourth-and-one, sent running back Emmett King over left tackle to try and run out the clock. King was stopped for no gain, and Notre Dame and Montana had 29 yards to go in 28 seconds. Montana gained 11 yards around right end on first down, then passed for 10 to Haines. After an incompletion, the Notre Dame QB hit Haines from eight yards out for the tying score. Unis’ PAT completed the comeback.

Keeling missed the PAT, but it was the only thing that went wrong for OU in the quarter. The Sooners scored their final touchdown on a 28-yard interception return by defensive end John Truitt, ending a nightmare quarter for Houston. Shepard was named the game’s MVP. Houston ended its season, the third straight in which it went to a bowl game, with a 7-4-1 record.
Heisman Trophy winner Doug Flutie brought his Boston College Eagles to Dallas, but it was the rushing of Flutie’s backfield mates that proved the difference in BC’s 45-28 victory over Houston in the 49th Annual Cotton Bowl.

Boston College added two touchdowns to extend its lead to 31-7. Flutie hit Gerard Phelan, who caught seven passes in the first half, over the middle for a 13-yard touchdown after driving BC 53 yards in five plays. UH quarterback Gerald Landry was then intercepted on Houston’s next play, and once again Boston College capitalized. Strachan scored on a two-yard run after Flutie had picked up 27 yards on a scramble to the two. Houston came back before the half when Landry hit Larry Shepherd with a 15-yard touchdown pass. Landry’s 38-yard completion to tight end Carl Hilton was the biggest play of the UH scoring drive. The Cougars made it close in the third. After five punts to start the period, Houston mounted a scoring march, thanks to a 26-yard Landry to Hilton completion and a 33-yard run by Raymond Tate to set up Tate’s two-yard touchdown jaunt. Then, Audrey McMillian intercepted a Flutie pass at the Boston College 25 and took it back for the touchdown, bringing the Cougars within three at 31-28. On Houston’s next possession, a couple of costly penalties hurt the Cougars and slowed their momentum. Boston College, uncharacteristically, went to its running game, and nine straight rushes resulted in a four-yard Strachan touchdown and a 38-28 BC lead. Another turnover stopped the Cougars and they were unable to take advantage of Flutie’s second interception of the half. Stradford provided the final margin when he scored on an 18-yard run with 1:08 remaining. Hilton caught five passes for 97 yards for UH, which finished the season with a 7-5 record.

In a couple of instances we had a couple of unforced errors that I will take the fall for. But, just like our team has all season long; we battled hard. Our guys played hard, they fought hard, they believed. That’s an inspiration to me as a coach,” head coach Art Briles said after the game.

Kolb was named Houston’s Outstanding Offensive Player after completing 26-of-39 passes for 386 yards and three touchdowns. With his three tackles, one interception and one pass break up, Willie Gaston was named Houston’s Outstanding Defensive Player.

Later in the period, freshman linebacker Marcus McGraw stripped Asher Clark of the ball at the Air Force 24 and senior defensive end Phillip Hunt pounced on the loose ball and returned it to the Air Force 14. However, the Falcon defense stiffened and freshman kicker Jordan Mannisto’s nailed a 22-yard field goal with four seconds remaining in the period. On its ensuing possession, Air Force marched 76 yards in 12 plays and pulled to within a field goal at 17-14 on Tim Jefferson’s 5-yard touchdown run at the 9:52 mark of the second quarter. After a Cougar punt, a missed 28-yard field goal by Air Force and another UH punt, Air Force tied the game at 17-17 when Ryan Harrison booted a 44-yard field with 2:28 left in the first half.

But the UH defense stiffened and pushed AFA back nine yards then Harrison missed from 55 yards out. The two teams traded scoring possessions in the third quarter. UH took the opening kickoff and marched 69 yards on a seven-play drive that was capped on Keenum’s 4-yard touchdown run with 12:28 remaining in the period for a 24-17 lead. Air Force took over on the next possession on an 18-play drive that consumed 51 yards and took more than eight-and-a-half minutes off the clock. However the Cougar defense limited the Falcons to Harrison’s 37-yard field goal with 3:46 left in the period to maintain a 24-20 advantage. Houston looked to take control of the game, extending their lead, 31-20 on 20-yard field goal attempt by Mannisto and a punt by the Falcons on their next possession. Five plays later, Keenum’s pass to senior tight end Mark Hafner was intercepted and returned 19 yards by Aaron Kirchoff. The Falcons would pull within three after the interception on a 3-yard rushing touchdown by Tim Jefferson. The Cougars capped the game with a 37-yard field goal from Mannisto with 3:24 left on the clock.
Asher Clark and Jared Tew each ran for more than 100 yards with two touchdowns and Air Force’s top-ranked pass defense had six interceptions against Case Keenum, leading the Falcons to a 47-20 victory over Houston in the Armed Forces Bowl.

After Houston was held without a Attendance: 41,414 touchdown before halftime, Tyron Carrier returned the opening kickoff of the second half 79 yards for his fourth TD this season. He took the ball near the left sideline, then ran to the middle of the field before shooting through a gap and running untouched to get the Cougars within 24-13. Air Force immediately responded with its first kickoff return for a touchdown since 1985. Jonathan Warzeka fielded the ball and stepped back into the end zone before running 100 yards. Five Houston players got their hands on him, but couldn’t get him down. According to STATS LLC, which has such data only since 1996, it was only the sixth game in that span involving FBS teams when there were kickoff returns for touchdowns on consecutive plays. None of them had been in a bowl game. After the kickoff returns, Keenum threw a 10-yard TD to Patrick Edwards to make it 31-20, but that was all the Cougars got. That gave Keenum a TD pass in 30 consecutive games , but this was the first time in that streak that he had more picks than scores. The Cougars entered the Fort Worth Bowl leading the nation in total yards (581) while averaging 44 points. They managed only 331 total yards against the Falcons. Air Force had allowed only 149 yards passing a game this season, even after giving up 377 in its regular-season finale at BYU. Clark’s 22-yard TD midway through the second quarter, when he took a pitch to the right and ran untouched to the end zone, made it 21-3. The only pass on that 11-play drive was a 13-yard completion by Jefferson, who by then was 5 of 5 for 71 yards, 10 more than Keenum. When Jefferson slipped down trying to run on third-and-goal from the 2 with 17 seconds and no timeouts left just before halftime, he quickly got the offense off the field and the kicking team got out in time for Erik Soderberg’s 27-yard field goal that made it 24-6.

HISTORY
Houston lost the bowl game but found a new wide receiver to watch. Markeith Ambles had a touchdown catch as Houston rallied to pull even after trailing by 24 points, but the Cougars couldn’t keep pace and Vanderbilt controlled the fourth quarter for a 41-24 GAME STATISTICS victory in the BBVA Compass Bowl.

Robinette, starting after senior Attendance: 42,717 Austyn Carta-Samuels had season-ending surgery to repair a torn ACL in his left knee, also had an 8-yard scoring run as Vanderbilt built a 24-0 lead in the first half. After Houston’s big third quarter, Vanderbilt reclaimed the lead on Brian Kimbrow’s 21-yard touchdown run. It was the start of 17 fourth-quarter points for the Commodores. “The thing that’s probably the most exciting to me is there is a culture of winning at Vanderbilt,” Franklin said. “These guys know how to win. A lot of different ways they do it, ugly, pretty, people can describe it however they want.” Vanderbilt (9-4) closed the season with five straight wins, adding to Franklin’s status as a possible candidate for coaching vacancies, including at Penn State and with the NFL Browns and Redskins. The Commodores played in three straight bowl games under Franklin - a first for the program - and completed their first back-to-back nine-win seasons. Franklin talked after the game about Vanderbilt’s returning players. He left the interview room without replying when asked if he would be back. No Houston defender was near Matthews on his second 50-yard scoring catch in the second quarter. It capped a dominant first half for the Commodores. Levine said he told his players at halftime they could make up the 24-point deficit quickly. “We talked at halftime and said they scored 24 and we scored zero and that’s what we could do in the third quarter,” Levine said. “Lo and behold, after those 15 minutes, it was all tied up.” A lost fumble by Robinette set up Farrow’s 6-yard touchdown run to start Houston’s third-quarter comeback. Houston built on the momentum. Spencer’s 62-yard run set up O’Korn’s 6-yard touchdown pass to Ambles. O’Korn’s 58-yard pass to Ambles set up a 30-yard field goal by Kyle Bullard. O’Korn’s 67-yard touchdown pass to Greenberry tied the game. Matthews, a senior who set Southeastern Conference records for career catches and yards receiving, had five catches for 143 yards and two touchdowns and was named the game’s MVP. Robinette completed only one pass to another receiver - for 11 yards to Jonathan Krause. Robinette completed 6 of 17 passes for 154 yards with two touchdowns and an interception. Seymour had 14 carries for 46 yards. Matthews took advantage of a lead block by Krause to make his first touchdown catch. A forced fumble by linebacker Chase Garnham set up the Commodores’ second touchdown. After Houston’s O’Korn threw a pass to Greg Ward Jr., a big hit by Garnham forced the fumbled recovered by Andrew Williamson at the Houston 16. Robinette, making his third career start, scored on an 8-yard keeper on fourth down.
SEASON REVIEW
Case Keenum finished his record-setting career with another performance for the history books. The sixth-year senior threw for 532 yards and three touchdowns, leading No. 20 Houston to 30-14 victory against No. 24 Penn State in the TicketCity Bowl. GAME STATISTICS The Cougars (13-1) finished with a Houston 17 7 3 3 30 school record for victories and made Tony Penn State 0 7 7 0 14 Levine a winner in his debut as Houston coach.

UH – Hogan 22 field goal, 4Q–14:52 “I’m biased, obviously. I’d put him right UH PSU at the top,” Levine said when asked where Keenum ranks among the best college First Downs 25 14 Rushes-Yards 16-68 44-169 quarterbacks of all time. “You don’t win Comp.-Att.-Int. 45-69-0 7-27-3 13 games by accident and I don’t think Passing Yards 532 137 you don’t break the records he broke by Total Offense 600 306 Punts-Average 6-42.5 9-41.6 accident, either.” Keenum wasn’t concerned with his Fumbles-Lost 0-0 2-0 6-18 place. He leaves Houston as the school Third Down Conv. 6-17 career leader with 37 wins, and that’s what Penalties-Yards 6-55 6-55 Time of Possession 27:49 32:11 he chose to focus on. “As far as rankings and all that goes, Rushing – UH: Sims 6-39, Hayes 2-20, Keenum 7-10, I’m concerned with our team ranking and Team 1-(-1); PSU: Green 15-63, Redd 14-53, Belton 6-38, how we end up,” Keenum said. “Thirteen Bolden 6-16, D.

Johnson 12-148, Edwards 10-228, Carrier 9-44, R. Williams 6-58, Sims 5-30, E.J. Smith 2-13, Hayes 1-11; they played hard. It’s been a difficult year PSU: D. Smith 2-49, S. Green 2-6, J. Brown 1-69, Haplea 1-12, for them,” Penn State interim coach Tom Suhey 1-1. Bradley said. “It just didn’t go our way.” The Nittany Lions (9-4) were picked Attendance: 46,817 apart by Keenum. Penn State was allowing 162 yards passing per game, but Keenum threw for more than double that by halftime. The Cougars raced out to a 17-0 lead in the first quarter behind Keenum’s record-setting period. According to TicketCity officials, Louisville’s Browning Nagle had the old mark with 223 yards against Alabama in the first quarter of the 1991 Fiesta Bowl. Keenum worked the spread offense to perfection, with five different Cougars catching at least five balls. Patrick Edwards, one of the country’s leading receivers, had 228 yards and two scores in the last game of his collegiate career. Justin Johnson had 12 catches for 148 yards. Keenum is the ninth player in bowl history to pass for at least 500 yards. He thought he could have done better. “We left a lot out there,” Keenum said. “There were a lot of throws I missed.” Houston came into the game determined to end the season on a high note having its BCS Bowl hopes dashed on Dec. 3. The undefeated Cougars fell to Southern Miss in the Conference USA championship game, costing UH a shot at the school’s first BCS bid. “That was the fluke,” Levine said of the lone loss, “and not the 12 wins leading up to it.” Penn State quarterback Rob Bolden finished 7 of 26 passing for 137 yards, with three interceptions. Houston wanted Bolden, the backup quarterback all season, to air it out as much as possible. “We know they were going to try to run the ball,” Cougars linebacker Marcus McGraw said. “We just wanted to get them in second and long, third and long, and wanted them to pass the ball knowing they had a second-string quarterback.”
