Final score: 40-16, Houston
Greg Ward is an absolute animal. He took a beating in this game. His injured right shoulder was killing him and he took vicious hit after vicious hit all night long.
The offense was out of sync, the defensive secondary struggled, but the sign of a good team is its ability to fight through adversity and win anyway.
Ed Oliver update: still beastlike — of or pertaining to a beast.
Health could be an issue with this team moving forward. The Cougars desperately need to heal. Ward’s shoulder is a problem.
