JACOLBY ROGERSOn Aug. 1, Houston announced the signing of 15-year old Jacolby Rogers.

Jacolby was diagnosed with Renal Disease in 1999 at the age of one. He underwent a kidney

transplant six months later. Unfortunately, by the age of three his body had rejected the transplant, and he has been on dialysis since. Although his dialysis treatments are three times a week, every week, year round, he never complains and is a true fighter. His condition is chronic, and he is on a transplant list, waiting for a donor.

In signing his letter of intent to join UH, Jacolby agreed that his favorite football team is the Hous-ton Cougars and that he will wear red on every Cougar Red Friday and every Houston gameday.

A LITTLE SLICE OF GREENBERRY PIE« The American’s leading receiver in 2013 with 1,202 yards, Deontay Greenberry 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.« Greenberry was second in The American Athletic Conference with 11 receiving touchdowns, a number that ranked 10th nationally. His five 100-yard receiving games ranked second in The American.« Greenberry became the 17th player in UH history to record 1,000 receiving yards in a season last year as his 1,202 yards were the 10th best single-season total. « Week three at BYU saw the junior become the 11th player in UH history to record over 2,000 yards receiving in a career. He now ranks ninth on the Houston career receiving yards chart with 2,424 yards and needs 211 yards to move into eighth.« His effort at BYU with six receptions for 74 yards and two touchdowns marked his third career game with multiple receiving TDs after pulling in two vs. BYU in 2013 and three vs. Rutgers last season.« Greenberry has pulled in at least six receptions in 16 of 35 career games and has four games with at least 10 catches.« With five receptions at SMU, Greenberry upped his career total to 188. The junior needs 19 more receptions to move into seventh and 33 to move into the top five.« He recorded his seventh career 100-yard receiving game and his second his season with 130 yards and one touchdown on 11 receptions vs. Tulane. « Greenberry ranks second in The American with his seven career 100-yard receiving games.

STEPPING UP ON THE RECEIVING END« With the loss of two starting receivers in Daniel Spencer (injury) and Greg Ward Jr. (move to quarterback), other receivers on the Houston squad have moved into more prominent roles. Markeith Ambles replaced Ward in the starting lineup while Wayne Beadle moved up into Spencer’s role.« The 2013 American Athletic Conference Co-Special Teams Player of the Year, Demarcus Ayers led Houston with a career-high seven receptions for 90 yards vs. UCF and followed it up with four receptions for 41 yards vs. Memphis, Houston’s second-best effort against the Tigers.« Stepping into the starting lineup vs. Memphis, Ambles responded with his second career touchdown at Houston with a 25-yard grab from Ward in what would turn into the game’s winning score with 13:34 remaining in the game.« The senior followed that up with six receptions, tying a career best, for a season-best 96 yards vs. Temple.« He pulled in his second TD of the season vs. Tulane on a 19-yard catch and spin vs. the Green Wave and followed it with a 25-yard TD reception vs. Tulsa.« Ambles ended 2013 with a breakout game vs. Vanderbilt, exploding for six receptions for 105 yards and one touchdown.« Walk-on Wayne Beadle led Houston with five receptions for 38 yards at USF. Three of Beadle’s five receptions vs. the Bulls resulted in first downs. The senior followed it with six receptions for 65 yards, both career bests, vs. Tulane.« True freshman Steven Dunbar became the latest from the receivers group to have a breakout game as he had a career-best seven receptions for 150 yards, also a career best, vs. Tulsa. All seven receptions resulted in Houston first downs. Dunbar got loose twice against the Golden Hurricane secondary with a career-long 40-yard reception on the game’s offensive play and a 38-yard reception in the third quarter, narrowly missing his first career TD as he was knocked out of bounds at the Tulsa two-yard line.« Dunbar almost doubled up his season receiving totals entering the Tulsa game, as prior to Nov. 22 he had nine receptions for 102 yards.

THUNDER & LIGHTNING« Houston’s backfield features a thunder-and-lightning combo in juniors Kenneth Farrow and Ryan Jackson. The two helped Houston to 399 yards on the ground vs. UNLV as UH fell just one yard short of its first 400-yard rushing game since 1985.« The two eclipsed the century mark in the same game for a second time this season vs. Tulsa as Farrow rushed for 116 yards vs. the Golden Hurricane while Jackson ended the day with 103 rushing yards. UH now has 51 games with two 100-yard rushers.« Farrow leads The American with five 100-yard rushing games this season with 130 vs. Grambling,113 vs. UNLV, 112 at USF, 116 vs. Tulsa and 110 vs. SMU. Houston is 5-0 in Farrow’s century-mark games.« Farrow leads The American with 11 rushing touchdowns including six in the last two games alone. The 11 TDs rank ninth on the UH single-season charts as he sits just four scores away from the season record of 15 set by Jackie Battle in 2006.« The junior tied The American’s single-game rushing touchdown record and placed his name along three others (Bryce Beall, Anthony Aldridge, Joffrey Reynolds) in a tie for second in Houston single-game history with four rushing touchdowns vs. Tulsa. The total was one short of the single-game record of five set by Antowain Smith vs. Southern Miss on Nov. 9, 1996.« Farrow notched his first career 100-yard rushing game vs. Grambling including a career-long 55-yard run on the game’s first play, and one TD. The junior was named to The American’s weekly honor roll as he averaged 10 yards a carry on the night. « Farrow needs 204 yards for the 24th 1,000 rushing yard season in Houston history and the first since Bryce Beall in 2008 with 1,247 yards.« Jackson is second in The American with five career 100-yard games, including a career-high 147 rushing yards vs. UNLV. Houston is 5-0 in games that Jackson eclipses the century mark on the ground.

THE LINE ON THE LINE« Two of Houston’s most experienced players anchor the line in RG Rowdy Harper and C Bryce Redman, both seniors. Harper has started 50 consecutive games, every game of his career. The 50-game streak ties for the nation’s longest among offensive linemen. Redman has started the last 30 games at center, taking over early in 2012 and never looking back.« Houston welcomed three new starters to its offensive line in LT Travis Cross, RG Ben Dew and RT Alex Cooper, all juniors. Cross (Oklahoma State) and Dew (Hawaii) both transferred to Houston this season while Cooper enters his fourth season with the Cougars. Cooper has provided depth along the line for the last two seasons, recording one start in 2013 as a jumbo tight end.« After a switch from Damian Parris to Cross at LT, the same five have started every game since for Houston.« The starting line sports an average height of 6-4 with an average weight of 300 pounds.

TAKE IT AWAY, DON’T GIVE IT AWAY« 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 lowest 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. Eleven players forced fumbles including five players with two apiece.« If you haven’t picked up on it yet, Stewart and McDonald are turnover machines. Stew-art led the nation in 2013 with a combined 10 turnovers - interceptions (4) and fumble recoveries (6) while McDonald leads The American in 2014 with eight turnovers - five interceptions and three fumble recoveries. « UH has forced multiple turnovers in 28 of its last 32 games and has a turnover forced in 34 straight games, the longest active streak in the NCAA.« Houston ranks fifth nationally this season with 30 turnovers forced through 11 games.« A nation’s best nine players have interceptions for Houston this season with eight accounting for 11 fumble recoveries.« McDonald leads Houston with eight turnovers - three fumble recoveries and five interceptions. Heading into the UCF game, McDonald had gained a turnover in seven straight games dating back to 2013. « Three players have at least three interceptions for Houston as Stewart and true freshman Howard Wilson each have three picks along with McDonald’s five.« Houston has converted its 30 turnovers into 17 scores, 56.7 percent, leading to 93 points on the year.« Entering its game vs. Houston, Memphis had just five turnovers in five games before the Cougars forced five turnovers alone (three interceptions, two fumbles). At one point in the second quarter, UH ended three straight Memphis drives with turnovers.« Temple entered its game vs. Houston having turned the ball over just nine times through five games before the Houston defense forced four turnovers while UH did not have a single turnover offensively.« Houston has three defensive touchdowns this season - two fumble recoveries in the end zone (Vincent Hall vs. Grambling and Adrian McDonald vs. Tulane) with one interception returned 29 yards for a TD vs. Tulane.« Players credit the ability to create turnovers on the emphasis paid on turnovers in practice, especially on Turnover Tuesdays.« Offensively, Houston did not record a turnover in back-to-back games for the first time since 2011 vs. Temple and USF.

WELCOME BACK DEFENSIVE STAFF« For the first time since the 2009 season, there was no change on the Houston Football defensive staff. Defensive coordinator David Gibbs and linebackers coach Vernon Hargreaves enter their second seasons while defensive backs coach Zach Spavital enters his seventh season and defensive line coach Ricky Logo his third.

THE THIRD WARD D« Houston ranked third nationally among most improved scoring defenses in 2013. 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.« This year’s version is continuing to lower the scoring average, entering the Cincinnati game with an average of 17.8 points per game, which is third in The American and 10th nationally. If the season ended today, it would be the lowest scoring defense since the 1989 squad held its opponents to an average of 13.6 points per game.« The defensive side is giving up just 184.6 yards per game through the air and 319.5 yards total per game, ranking 11th and 13th, respectively, nationally.« The Houston airspace is quickly becoming a no-fly zone as the Cougars lead The American and rank fourth nationally with 19 interceptions while ranking 11th nationally in pass efficiency defense at 106.27. « On average this season, the Houston defense is forcing 4.73 three-and-outs per game, a number that is fourth in The American.« UH has allowed just 31 plays of 20 yards or more, ranking third nationally, and 14 plays of 30 yards or more, ranking seventh.« Opponents have thrown just 22 passes of 20 yards or more, which ranks third nationally.« Houston held two straight opponents to less than 100 rushing yards in wins over Temple (98) and USF (76) for the first time since October of 2007. The last time UH held an opponent under 100 rushing yards for three straight games was 2000.« The defense pitched the 38th shutout of Houston history in the second game of the season, blanking Grambling in a 47-0 Houston win. The Tigers are averaging 34.1 points per game against all other opponents.« Temple entered its game vs. Houston averaging 38.2 points per game and led an average of 37.6 minutes per game. The Houston defense held the Owls to just 10 points, its previous low of 24 coming vs. Navy, and never allowed Temple to lead in the game.

TACKLING MACHINES« The 2013 season saw six Cougars account for 27 games with 10 or more tackles.« Efrem Oliphant leads the team with 17 career double-digit tackle games. « The 2013 leader in tackles with 134, Efrem Oliphant, had double-digit tackles in five of Houston’s six final games. Oliphant finished the year 12th nationally and second in The American with an average of 10.3 tackles per game.« Entering the Cincinnati game, Oliphant is second in The American and 12th nationally with an average of 10.6 tackles per game.« Six players on the Houston roster have accumulated 10 tackles in a game this season led by Oliphant who has accomplished the feat in eight games this season including 16 vs. Tulsa.

ANYTHING BUT SECONDARY« The secondary group made a name for itself in the takeaway department last season, recording 29 of the team’s 43 turnovers or 67 percent. « The group has 19 of the season’s 30 turnovers with interceptions from Adrian McDonald (5), Trevon Stewart (3), Howard Wilson (3), William Jackson (2), Lee Hightower and Earl Foster while McDonald (3) and Jackson (1) have fumble recoveries.« At free safety, Stewart has started 31 career games, earning FWAA Freshman All-America honors in 2012. The Patterson, La., native led the nation in 2013 with six fumble recoveries and four interceptions.« A high school quarterback, McDonald started at strong safety in 2013 and led The American with six interceptions to go along with 99 tackles, three pass breakups and a fumble recovery. He leads Houston with eight turnovers - five interceptions and three fumble recoveries.« McDonald needs just three more interceptions to tie the Houston career interceptions record.« Jackson has taken over one starting corner role full time after recording four starts in 2013. He made his second career interception vs. Grambling. Jackson was pivotal in the turnover game at Memphis, ending a Tigers’ fourth-quarter drive with a strip and recovery with 2:50 remaining in the game.« The group welcomed Boise State transfer Lee Hightower who recorded his first UH start vs. UTSA after starting 11 games at Boise. Hightower started the first six games opposite of Jackson before suffering a season-ending leg injury vs. Memphis, the same game the junior recorded his first interception at Houston in.« With Hightower lost for the season, Houston has turned to other corners to make their mark including senior Turon Walker, sophomore Brandon Wilson and true freshman Howard Wilson.« Brandon Wilson made his first career start at BYU while Howard Wilson has seen significant time at nickel back this season including interceptions vs. UNLV, Temple and Tulsa, receiving his first career start against the latter.« Sophomore Steven Aikens made his first career start vs. Temple as Houston opened the game in a nickel package. Freshman Khalil Williams also made his debut vs. the Owls, coming in at a safety position in the nickel package.

LOOK AT THE LINEBACKERS« Derrick Mathews is the defense’s most experienced player with 45 career starts. Unfortunately, Mathews collegiate career was ended after suffering a torn ACL vs. Memphis. The senior posted triple-digit tackles in his first three seasons including 116 stops in 2013. Mathews finished his career with 400 career tackles and 43 career tackles for loss. « He ended his UH career fifth on Houston’s career tackles chart and sixth on the UH career tackles for loss chart. He had six career forced fumbles, ranking sixth on the Houston career chart, and 16 sacks. Turnover wise, Mathews added four career interceptions and two fumble recoveries. He broke up 14 passes in his career.« With Mathews’ injury, Efrem Oliphant, a veteran of 47 career games with 27 career starts, moved to the middle linebacker spot. Oliphant is second in The American and ranks 12th nationally with an average of 10.6 tackles per game. « Oliphant leads Houston with 8.5 tackles for loss and is second with 3.5 sacks this season.« Oliphant recorded his first career interception in the second quarter of Houston’s win over Memphis before sealing the victory with a second interception with just 1:02 remaining in the game.« Strongside linebacker Steven Taylor had 13 tackles vs. Tulsa, his fifth career game with double-digit stops and second of his season. Taylor recorded his third career sack in the win over Memphis and finished third on the Houston team with six tackles on the night.« Taylor was named The American’s Defensive Player of the Week after leading UH with seven tackles against Temple while forcing and recovering a pivotal Temple fumble in his own endzone. « Taylor doubled his season sack total with two sacks vs. SMU and now leads Houston with four sacks on the year.« True freshman Matthew Adams has moved into the starting lineup on the weakside with his first career start at USF. He had a career-best 11 stops including 2.5 for a loss vs. Tulane. Adams also posted one of four sacks at BYU, forced a fumble vs. Grambling and had four tackles vs. UNLV.« Adams recorded his second sack and forced fumble of the season vs. SMU when he nailed Mustang quarterback Garrett Davis from the blindside, forcing a fumble that Gavin Stansbury would recover.

UP FRONT« The Houston defensive line was hands on all season last year as evident by the group’s three interceptions - Tyus Bowser, Tomme Mark and B.J. Singleton - along with four blocked kicks - B.J. Singleton (3) and Trevor Harris (1).

TONYLEVINEHEAD COACH

THIRD YEAR | MINNESOTA ‘96• 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 touch-downs 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 catego-ries. 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 touch-downs and six forced turnovers. Those groups also have tied/broken seven NCAA records and set 11 school marks.

• From 2008-11, the eight kickoff returns for touchdowns were the second most by any FBS school over the time period, while the 16 blocked kicks ranked among the national leaders during that same period.

• Houston has been explosive as a return unit during Levine’s tenure and had three returns for scores in 2011, including Tyron Carrier’s seventh career kickoff return for a score (tied an NCAA record) and two punt return scores by two different returners in the road win at Tulane. Hogan also broke the NCAA record with 78 consecutive extra points made in a season.

• The 2010 season saw the Cougars return a punt, kickoff and a blocked field goal for touchdowns. Punt returner Patrick Edwards finished seventh in the na-tion and first in C-USA with a 15.4 yard per return average, while Houston finished ninth nationally with a 14.3 yard per return mark. Wesley Scourten finished the 2010 season with five blocked kicks and eight for his career -- both school records -- while Carrier brought his career kickoff return touchdown total to six before adding No. 7 in 2011.

• In November 2011, CBSSports.com’s Bruce Feldman named Levine one of the nation’s 10 fastest-rising assistant coaches.

• Offensively in 2010, the Cougars finished 11th in the nation in total offense (480.5 ypg), fifth in passing offense (327.3 ypg) and 13th in scoring offense (37.7 ppg). Inside receiver James Cleveland finished his two-year career with 161 catches for 2,014 yards and 20 touchdowns, all which rank in the school’s top-10 all-time list

• In 2009, Cleveland (1,214 yards) and Carrier (1,029 yards) each surpassed the 1,000-yard receiving mark, while tight end Fendi Onobun became a sixth-round draft pick of the NFL’s St. Louis Rams. Onobun also tied an NCAA single-game record with two blocked PATs against C-USA foe Southern Miss, one of which led to a key defensive conversion in a 50-43 win.

• Offensively, the Cougars ranked first nationally in total offense (563.4 ypg), passing offense (433.7 ypg) and scoring offense (42.2 ppg) in 2009.

• Levine tutored Hogan, who was named a Freshman All-American by Sporting News and was a C-USA All-Freshman Special Teams selection. The Cougars also tied an NCAA record by returning five kickoffs for touchdowns and tied a school single-season mark with six blocked kicks.

• In 2008, Levine coached tight end Mark Hafner to an All-Conference USA Second Team selection and career highs in catches (86), receiving yards (907) and touchdowns (11). Carrier was also named to the All-C-USA Second Team after catching 80 passes for 1,026 yards and nine touchdowns.

• Statistically, the Cougar offense finished second in the country in both total offense (562.8 ypg) and passing (401.6 ypg) and 10th in scoring (40.6 ppg). Also under Levine, punter Chase Turner earned a spot on the All-C-USA Honorable Mention list after averaging 45.5 yards per punt. Turner’s mark was a single-season school record, while the team’s net punting average of 36.5 yards was also the highest in school history. The Cougars finished the season ranked 34th in the country in net punting, up from 114th (31.2) in 2007, prior to Levine’s arrival.

• Houston’s kickoff coverage defense ranked 22nd nationally, yielding a mere 18.96 yards per return on 92 kickoffs, while the Cougars blocked five kicks (three field goals, two punts).

7HOUSTON -- Playing in front of an at-

tendance of 40,755, the largest on-campus crowd in school history in the inaugural game at TDECU Stadium, Houston Football wasn’t able to overcome six turnovers, falling 27-7 to UTSA.

Despite allowing 27 points to the Roadrun-ners, the Cougars’ (0-1) defense did extend its turnover streak to 24 straight games on an Adrian McDonald fumble recovery in the first quarter.

UTSA’s David Glasco, who ran for 81 yards on 25 carries, scored on a three-yard run in the first quarter after a mishandled Houston punt gave the Roadrunners’ their first opportunity in the Houston red zone. Glasco then added a two-yard touchdown run in the second quarter to extend the Roadrunners’ lead to 14-0.

UTSA’s Jarveon Williams’ 11-yard touchdown run capped a 13-play, 60-yard drive in the third quarter, and Sean Ianno kicked a 26-yard field goal after Bennett Okotcha intercepted John O’Korn’s pass in Houston territory. Ianno added a 30-yard field goal in the fourth quarter to put UTSA ahead 27-0.

The Cougars posted a fourth-quarter touchdown, on what proved to be the last drive of the game for Houston, on an eight-yard run by junior Ryan Jackson when senior quarterback Billy Cosh made his Cougar debut on the scoring drive.

Junior wide receiver Deontay Greenberry led the Cougars with six receptions for 96 yards.O’Korn finished the night 21-of-43 for 204 passing yards.Defensively, three Cougars tallied double-digit tackle games, led by senior Derrick Mathews, who tied

his career best with 16 tackles and record his 14th career double-digit tackle effort.Senior Efrem Oliphant finished with 14 tackles for the 10th double-digit tackle game of his career, while

junior Trevon Stewart added 10 tackles for the 12th double-digit tackle game of his career.

BYUPROVO, Utah -- Taysom Hill threw for

200 yards and a touchdown while running for 160 yards and another score, and No. 25 BYU beat Houston 33-25.Despite allowing 27 points to the Roadrunners, the Cougars’ (0-1) defense did extend its turnover streak to 24 straight games on an Adrian McDonald fumble recovery in the first quarter.

Jamaal Williams rushed for 139 yards and two TDs for BYU, which has won its opening three games for the first time since 2008. BYU moved into the rankings after a 41-7 victory over Texas last weekend.

BYU jumped out to an early 23-0 lead, but the Cougars (1-2) scored 15 straight points before halftime.

Houston’s John O’Korn passed for 307 yards and three touchdowns, including a 45-yard desperation heave to Daniel Spencer as time ran out in the first half. Deontay Green-berry caught a pair of O’Korn’s touchdowns.

The teams met last season with BYU pulling out the win on Hill’s 11-yard touchdown pass to Skyler Ridley with less than two minutes to go for a 47-46 win.

On Thursday, BYU managed to hang on to the lead despite numerous mistakes. A fake punt to cap its opening drive of the second half failed. BYU was also hurt by a personal foul penalty on Tejan Koroma, who was ejected from the game.

Trevor Samson kicked a 26-yard field goal to extend BYU’s lead to 26-15 late in the third quarter. Wil-liams added a 2-yard touchdown run early in the final period.

BYU appeared to score on its first drive of the game, but Hill’s 32-yard pass to Devon Blackmon was called back by an illegal formation penalty.

Houston’s Ryan Jackson later fumbled in the end zone and the ball was recovered by Zac Stout for the safety to put BYU up 2-0. Williams’ 11-yard touchdown run pushed the lead to 9-0 before Hill scored on a 5-yard keeper.

Houston’s Kyle Bullard attempted a 38-yard field goal early in the second quarter but the ball barely got off the ground because of a muffed hold.

Hill hit Mitch Matthews with a 6-yard scoring pass to make it 23-0 with 8:57 to go before halftime.Houston rallied, and after Bullard hit a 29-yard field goal, defensive tackle Joey Mbu intercepted Hill

at the BYU 29, and Houston capped the ensuing series with O’Korn’s 7-yard touchdown pass to Green-berry.

Hill found Mitch Juergens with a 38-yard pass, but safety Adrian McDonald forced a fumble and ran the ball back 28 yards to the BYU 45. With time running out, Spencer pulled down O’Korn’s 45-yard heave to narrow the score to 23-15 at the break.

Bullard missed the extra points after both Houston touchdowns. Score by Quarters 1 2 3 4 TotalHouston 0 15 0 10 25BYU 16 7 3 7 33

UNLV

HOUSTONHOUSTON -- Houston Football used 399 rushing

yards on 52 attempts and saw five different Cougars score a touchdown en route to a 47-14 win over UNLV at TDECU Stadium. The win improved to the Cougars’ record to 2-2 on the year and 2-1 at home in Houston’s last non-conference game of 2014. Houston’s offensive effort was highlighted by two 100-yard rushers as juniors Ryan Jackson (147) and Kenneth Farrow (113) combined for 260 rushing yards and one rushing touchdown from Farrow in the win. Jackson also added a 26-yrd receiving touchdown. Five different Cougars in Farrow, Jackson, Dan-iel Spencer, John O’Korn and Javin Webb scored a touchdown, including four with a rushing touchdown. The 399 rushing yards marks the first time a Houston team has accomplished 300+ rushing yards in a single game since the Aug. 30 game vs. Southern a year ago. The Cougars were just one yard short of notching their first 400-yard rushing game since 1985. The Houston Defense continued its dominance, forcing three turnovers to extend its turnover streak to 27 straight games, good for second best nationally. Junior Adrian McDonald led the attack with his second interception of the year - extending his turnover streak to now seven games, dating back to Cincinnati on Nov. 23, 2013. UNLV jumped out to a 7-0 lead early in the first quarter, but the Cougars held the Rebels scoreless until the 2:52 mark late in the third quarter. Houston quickly answered UNLV’s first scoring drive with a 1-yard rush by O’Korn to make it a 7-7 game. Less than two minutes later, the Cougars used a 35-yard rush by Spencer to cap an 5-play, 75-yard drive in just 57 seconds and take a 13-7 lead, which held until the second half. Less than 30 seconds into the second half, Houston used a 26-yard pass from O’Korn to Ryan Jackson to take a 20-7 lead. Spencer than added his second touchdown of the game on a 16-yard pass from O’Korn to extend the lead to 27-7 with 11:47 left in the third quarter. Junior kicker Kyle Bullard provided six points for Houston in the second half on two 41-yard field goals, the first time in his career he has notched two 40+ scores in the same game to give the Cougars a 33-14 lead. Farrow added to the offensive action with his 1-yard rushing touchdown early in the fourth quarter, which then gave way to a 11-yard rush by Webb, who notched his first career touchdown to put Houston up 47-14 and close out the night’s scoring. Ryan Jackson’s 147 rushing yards led the Cougars and was a career-high for the running back. With that total, Jackson eclipsed the 1,000 career-rushing yards mark, becoming the 45th Cougar in program history to accomplish that feat and joining Farrow on the list. Saturday night marked Jackson’s fourth career 100-yard rushing game and first of the season for the junior, while teammate Farrow rushed for 113 yards on a career-high 14 attempts, notching his second career 100-yard rushing game. O’Korn finished the night 12-of-27 with 135 passing yards and two passing touchdowns, while rushing for 27 yards on 10 attempts and one touchdown. Spencer notched two rushing and receiving touchdowns in the same game for the second time in his career - last coming Aug. 30, 2013 vs. Southern. Defensively, senior linebacker Efrem Oliphant led the Cougars with 11 tackles for his 13th double-digit tackle game of his career and fourth this season. Linebacker Derrick Mathews finished with seven tackles bringing his career total to 392, moving the senior into fifth all-time in program history. UNLV’s leading receiver and Biletnikoff Watch List member Devante Davis was held to just one reception, result-ing in no yards on the night as junior cornerback William Jackson was tasked as the main defender against Davis in man coverage.

UCF

HOUSTONHOUSTON -- Houston Football junior

Kyle Bullard accounted for all 12 points with four field goals as the Cougars fell in heart-breaking fashion, 17-12, in its American Ath-letic Conference opener to UCF at TDECU Stadium.

With the loss, Houston fell to 2-3 on the season and 0-1 in league play, while UCF improved to 2-2 and 1-0 in American action.

Bullard’s four-field goal performance was his second of the season with as many three pointers, while he also notched a program-record with 18 straight field goals made for Houston.

A 19-yard rush and a chance to score a game-winning touchdown by Greg Ward Jr. with under 30 seconds left in the game resulted in a fumble through the back of the end zone and a touchback, allowing UCF to secure the win.

UCF’s offense was held scoreless in the first and fourth quarters, but would use a 10-point third quarter to make it a two-score game late.

Defensively, the Cougars were once again led by senior linebacker Efrem Oliphant, who notched 10 tackles for his 14th career double-digit tackle game and fifth this season.

Senior defensive end Joey Mbu recorded a career-high eight tackles, including one for a loss, while senior defensive end Gavin Stansbury and junior defensive back Adrian McDonald each tallied seven stops in the effort.

The Houston Defense kept its turnover streak alive with its 28th consecutive game forcing a turnover when Stansbury forced a UCF fumble and Oliphant picked up the recovery, which eventually led to the game’s first points with 9:50 remaining in the first quarter.

Houston jumped out to a quick 3-0 lead on the 39-yard field goal by Bullard early in the first.The Cougars held UCF scoreless in the first quarter, but the Knights responded with a touchdown with

9:27 left in the second quarter on a 6-yard pass from Justin Holman to Jackie Williams to give them the 7-3 advantage.

Houston was able to execute another successful field goal, a 42-yarder by Bullard, with under two minutes left in the opening half to make it a 7-6 game at the break.

A 52-yard pass for a score from Holman to Breshad Perriman, along with a field goal early in the third quarter gave UCF a17-6 advantage at the end of three quarters.

With a career-long 51-yard field goal, Bullard recorded the first 50+ yard field goal in TDECU Stadium history when he trimmed Houston’s deficit to 17-9 midway through the fourth quarter.

Bullard then accounted for his fourth score of the game on a 49-yarder with 4:46 left that made it a 17-12 game. The program-record of 18 consecutive field goals made for Bullard surpassed Matt Hogan’s 16-straight fields set back during the 2009-10 seasons.

Sophomore Greg Ward, Jr. passed for 116 yards on a 10-of-17 effort, notching all career-bests, sur-passing his previous highs of 75 yards on 5-of-9 passing vs. Cincinnati on Nov. 23, 2013.

Sophomore Demarcus Ayers also notched a career-best with 90 receiving yards on seven catches, surpassing his previous high of 32 yards, which came at Rutgers on Oct. 26, 2013.

As a team, Houston finished with 331 yards, while it held UCF to 228.

ing defensive effort, highlighted by a key in-terception from Efrem Oliphant with under two minutes to play, Houston Football was able to force five turnovers en route to a 28-24 road win at Memphis to earn its first American Ath-letic Conference victory of the year.

The win marked the program’s 400th career victory after earning win No. 300 back on Sept. 4, 1999 vs. Rice.

With the victory, the Cougars improve to 3-3 on the year and 1-1 in conference action, while Memphis fell to 3-3 and 1-1 in league play.

The five turnovers forced was the second most by the Cougars this season after forcing six in a win against Grambling. Houston has now forced a turnover in 29 straight games and has also forced multiple turnovers in 24-of-the-last 27 games.

Tonight’s game also marked the fourth time this season Houston has forced at least three turnovers in a game.

Houston totaled 354 offensive yards in the win, led by sophomore quarterback Greg Ward’s 168 passing yards on a 14-of-25 effort with one passing touchdown in his first career start at quarterback for the Cougars.

Ward also rushed for 95 yards on a team-high 17 carries, marking all career-bests, while notching a rushing touchdown as well becoming the second quarterback this season to have a rushing and passing touchdown in the same game as John O’Korn accomplished that feat against UNLV.

Deontay Greenberry led all Houston receivers with 72 yards on four catches, while Kenneth Farrow rushed for 64 yards and a score on 10 carries.

Defensively, Houston was led once again by Oliphant, who notched double-digit tackles for the 15th time in his career with 12 stops. He has also notched at least 10 tackles in all six games this season.

Oliphant went on to also record two tackles for loss and racked up two interceptions for a total of 23 yards, including the game-sealing interception with 1:02 left in the game.

Following Oliphant in the tackles category was Eric Eiland with a career-high seven tackles.Contributing on the turnover battle was Lee Hightower, who recorded his first career interception.

Jeramiah Farley chipped in with a fumble recovery and William Jackson forced and recovered a fumble.Memphis jumped ahead of Houston 14-0 before a minute escaped the second quarter, but the Cou-

gars quickly responded with their first score of the night on a 64-yard run, the longest rush of the year and longest scoring play of the year to make it 14-7.

With 9:44 left in the first half, Farrow took a 2-yard run into the end zone to even the score for his third touchdown of the season and 11th of his career.

Memphis then used a 20-yard pass from Paxton Lynch to Daniel Montiel with 1:01 left in the second quarter to go ahead 21-14.

Coming out of the half, Houston held Memphis without a score and evened the game at 21-21 on a 3-yard run by Ryan Jackson for his third touchdown of the year and 12th of his career.

A drive that lasted 83 yards and nearly three minutes to open the fourth quarter resulted in a 25-yard touchdown reception by Markeith Ambles from Ward for his first score of the year and second of his career for the Cougars to make it 28-21 Houston with under 14 minutes to play.

The Houston Defense held Memphis without a score in the third quarter and to just three points in the entire second half on a field goal with 7:27 left in the game.

TEMPLE

HOUSTONHOUSTON -- Houston Football used four

forced turnovers from its defense and a career night from sophomore quarterback Greg Ward Jr. en route to a 31-10 win over then-confer-ence leader Temple inside TDECU Stadium.

The win lifted the Cougars’ record to 4-3 and improved their American Athletic Conference mark to 2-1, while Temple fell to 4-2 on the year and 2-1 in league action.

Houston’s defense once again made a strong showing with four forced turnovers, highlighted by a forced fumble and recovery by Steven Taylor in the end zone to keep Temple off the board and down 17-10 midway through the third quarter.

Houston used the momentum from Taylor’s turnover to outscore Temple 14-0 in the final 20 minutes of play.

Accompanying the Houston defense’s ef-fort, the offense showed well, producing 439 offensive yards, the third-best total this sea-son. Ward, who improved to 2-0 as starting quarterback led Houston with a career-high 268 passing yards on 29 completions in 33 attempts, for an impressive 88 percent.

Running back Ryan Jackson had 18 carries for 75 rushing yards to accompany his 59 receiving yards on three receptions, highlighted by a 30-yard reception for a touchdown. Kenneth Farrow tallied 18 car-ries for 52 yards and a touchdown.

Ward had several offensive targets in the win as Deontay Greenberry led the receiving core with 63 yards on 10 receptions and a touchdown, a seven-yard pass from Ward. Markeith Ambles connected on six receptions for 96 yards, including a 30-yard reception.

Defensively, the Cougars saw interceptions from William Jackson, Trevon Stewart and Howard Wilson in addition to Taylor’s fumble. The trio helped Houston to its 30th straight game forcing a turnover and its 25th game in the last 28 forcing multiple turnovers. Over the last 20 games, the Houston defense has forced 66 turnovers and have at least three turnovers in 15 of the last 20.

Houston was able to capitalize on the four turnovers, turning them into 14 points.The Cougars struck first when kicker Kyle Bullard nailed a 34-yard field goal with 7:19 left in the first

quarter to put Houston up 3-0. It took just eight seconds for Houston to extend its 3-0 lead to 10-0 follow-ing Stewart’s interception return for a touchdown midway through the opening quarter.

Temple jumped on board with a 22-yard field goal to close out the first quarter, making it a 10-3 game.It didn’t take long for the Cougars to strike in the second quarter as Farrow used a 4-yard run to give

Houston a 17-3 lead. Temple continued to claw back and executed a 39-yard pass from P.J. Walker to Keith Kirkwood to pull with seven heading into the second half.

After a 74-yard pass and a first-and-goal situation, Temple had a chance to tie the game midway through the third, but Taylor’s fumble and recovery in the endzone kept the Owls off the board and gave Houston the ball back on its 20-yard line.

Following that momentum shift, Houston used two late third quarter touchdowns passes from Ward to Greenberry and Jackson to put the Cougars ahead 31-10.

TULANE

HOUSTONHOUSTON -- Houston Football forced

two turnovers and extended its forced turn-over streak to 32 straight games as its valiant effort fell short in a 31-24 loss to Tulane inside TDECU Stadium.

Houston pulled within seven at 31-24 with 1:04 remaining when Deontay Greenberry caught his fourth touchdown of the year on a 9-yard pass from Greg Ward Jr. to complete a 12-play, 82-yard drive.

Following the score, sophomore Tyler Mc-Closkey recovered an onside kick to give the Cougars new life. Ward moved the offense 48 yards on seven plays before an interception on the final game of the play with the Cougars forcing fourth-and-goal on Tulane’s 5-yard line.

The loss snapped the Cougars’ three-game win streak as they fell to 5-4 on the season and 3-2 in American Athletic Conference play, while Tulane improved to 3-6 and 2-6 in league action.

Junior Adrian McDonald recovered a fumble for a touchdown, which was forced by senior cornerback Turon Walker to keep the Houston Defense’s forced turnover streak alive at 32 consecutive games, dat-ing back to 2012. The streak is the second-longest in the nation, trailing just Ole Miss’ 33-game streak.

McDonald’s fumble recovery for a touchdown marked the second recovered fumble in the end zone for Houston this season and the third defensive touchdown of 2014.

With the two forced turnovers of the afternoon, Houston has now forced multiple turnovers in 26 of the last 30 games.

Senior linebacker Efrem Oliphant notched his 16th career double-digit tackle game and his seventh of the year, totaling 13 stops to lead all players.

True freshman Matthew Adams recorded a career-high 11 tackles, surpassing his previous total of four, which happened twice, last at USF a week ago. He also added 2.5 tackles for loss in the effort.

Offensively, Greenberry finished the day with a season-high 12 receptions for 136 yards and a touch-down. The 100+ yard game was the seventh of his career and the first since a win vs. Grambling on Sept. 6.

Ward finished the afternoon throwing for a career-best 31-of-45 for 342 yards and two touchdowns, surpassing his previous highs of 29-of-33 for 268 yards and two scores vs. Temple on Oct. 17.

Ward also ran a career-high 18 times, totaling 59 yards to lead the ground game for Houston. Junior running back Kenneth Farrow added eight carries for 21 yards.

Tulane jumped on board early when it scored on a 12-yard pass from Tanner Lee to Teddy Veal with 11:19 left in the first quarter. The Cougars responded with a 19-yard touchdown pass from Ward to senior Markeith Ambles to take a tied game into the second quarter.

Down 14-7 with 1:53 left in the first half after Tulane used a 63-yard pass from Lee to Dontrell Hilliard to take another lead, Walker forced his fumble and McDonald recovered it for a touchdown, tying the game at 14.

As time expired on the first half, junior kicker Kyle Bullard connected on a 39-yard field goal to give Houston a 17-14 lead heading into the half after McDonald intercepted a Lee pass, ending back-to-back Tulane drives with a turnover.

Midway through the third quarter, Tulane took a 21-17 lead when Lee hit Leondre James for a 9-yard touchdown pass. The Green Wave extended its lead to 11 with a 1-yard run by Hillard and then used a 25-yard field goal to take its largest lead, 31-17.

neth Farrow became the first Cougar since 2010 to record four rushing touchdowns in a game as he helped lift Houston Football to a 38-28 win over Tulsa in its home finale inside TDECU Stadium.

With the win, the Cougars became bowl eligible for the second straight season as their record improved to 6-4 and 4-2 in American Athletic Conference play.

Farrow finished the afternoon with 116 rush-ing yards and a career-best four touchdowns en route to his fourth career 100+ yard rushing game. The Cougars are 4-0 in games Farrow runs for over 100 yards.

Saturday marked the second game this season Houston had a 100-yard rusher and a 100-yard receiver in the same contest as true freshman Steven Dunbar notched a career-high 150 yards receiving on seven receptions.

Sophomore quarterback Greg Ward Jr. fin-ished the day 16-of-21 for 227 passing yards and one touchdown, while rushing for 37 yards on eight carries.

Defensively, the Cougars continued their turnover dominance, tallying three interceptions to extend their turnover streak to 33 straight games, dating back to 2012.

True freshman Howard Wilson recorded his third interception of the season to open the day’s turnover total.

HOUSTON

SMUDALLAS -- Houston Football used 433 of-

fensive yards and five rushing touchdowns to earn a 35-9 American Athletic Conference win on the road at SMU.

With the win, the Cougars improved to 7-4 overall and 5-2 in league action, while SMU fell to 0-11 and 0-7 in conference play.

After trailing at halftime, 9-7, Houston broke out for 21 points as it outgained SMU 183-15 in the game’s third quarter. The Houston de-fense held SMU to just 80 total yards in the second half.

Junior running back Kenneth Farrow and sophomore quarterback Greg Ward Jr. com-bined for Houston’s five rushing touchdowns as Farrow tallied two and Ward three.

The three rushing touchdowns by Ward were as career best as he totaled 14 carries for 93 yards, just two yards and four carries shy of his career-highs. Ward was also 17-of-28 for 144 yards passing with one interception.

Farrow led the Houston offense with 110 rushing yards on 18 carries for his second straight 100+ yard rushing game and his fifth of the season. His two touchdowns also marked his second consecutive game with multiple rushing touchdowns.

Defensively, Houston extended its forced turnover streak to 34 straight games, tying the nation’s lon-gest active streak on a fumble recovery in the third quarter. Freshman Matthew Adams forced the fumble on a sack while senior Gavin Stansbury recovered the loose ball. Adams finished Friday with four tackles and the previously mentioned sack.

Sophomore linebacker Steven Taylor led Houston in tackles with six and also notched a career-high in sacks with two, totaling 11 yards for loss, after entering the game with two sacks on the year.

For the second straight year, Houston scored on its first offensive play vs. SMU as Ward ran for 38 yards just 1:30 into the game.

Houston had its first blocked kick of the season as Stansbury broke through to block an SMU field goal to keep the Mustangs scoreless with 4:17 left in the second.

SMU’s defense put the Mustangs on the board first late in the second quarter as Ward was called for intentional grounding inside his own end zone. On the following SMU drive, the Mustangs covered 60 yards on three plays capped by a 67-yard pass from Matt Davis to Jeremiah Gaines to make it a 9-7 SMU lead at the half.

Houston opened the second half with an eight-play, 64-yard scoring drive capped by Farrow’s 11-yard touchdown run. The drive featured seven rushing attempts for 55 yards.

Midway through the third quarter, the Houston offense covered the entire field, ending on a 4-yard scramble from Ward for his second touchdown of the game and first career game with multiple rushing touchdowns to put Houston up 21-9.

Adams and Stansbury combined to force a SMU fumble with Adams forcing and Stansbury recovering to extend Houston’s turnover streak.

The forced turnover set up a short field for the Houston offense as the Cougars covered 23 yards in three plays, ending with a Farrow 14-yard touchdown run.

The touchdown by Farrow marked his second straight game and third in his career with multiple rushing touchdowns.

With 4:46 left in the game, Ward rushed for his third touchdown of the day with a 5-yard run. The Cougars used five plays for 52 yards to score its fifth rushing touchdown of the day, making it 35-9 late.
